Genetics of gliding motility and development in Myxococcus xanthus.
Review in Archives of microbiology, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Successful development in multicellular eukaryotes requires cell-cell communication and the coordinated spatial and temporal movements of cells. The complex array of networks required to bring eukaryotic development to fruition can be modeled by the development of the simpler prokaryote Myxococcus xanthus. As part of its life cycle, M. xanthus forms multicellular fruiting bodies containing differentiated cells. Analysis of the genes essential for M. xanthus development is possible because strains with mutations that block development can be maintained in the vegetative state. Development in M. xanthus is induced by starvation, and early events in development suggest that signaling stages have evolved to monitor the metabolic state of the developing cell. In the absence of these signals, which include amino acids, alpha-keto acids, and other intermediary metabolites, the ability of cells to differentiate into myxospores is impaired. Mutations that block genes controlling gliding motility disrupt the morphogenesis of fruiting bodies and sporogenesis in surprising ways. In this review, we present data that encourage future genetic and biochemical studies of the relationships between motility, cell-cell signaling, and development in M. xanthus.
