Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 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
The response of the bacterial strains Comamonas acidovorans PX54 (beta subclass of the class Proteobacteria) and Vibrio strain CB5 (gamma subclass of the class Proteobacteria) to grazing by the bacterivorous flagellate Ochromonas sp. was examined in one-stage chemostat experiments under conditions of low growth rates with a complex carbon source. The two bacterial strains were cultured together; they were cultured without flagellates in the first phase of the experiments and in the presence of the flagellates in the second phase. Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies were used to determine the numbers and sizes of C. acidovorans PX54 and Vibrio strain CB5 cells. The flagellates caused strong changes in total bacterial cell numbers, in the relative abundances of the individual bacterial strains, and in bacterial cell size distribution. Vibrio strain CB5 dominated the total bacterial cell numbers during the flagellate-free phase of the experiments with a relative abundance of 93%, but this declined to 33% after inoculation with the flagellate. In contrast to Vibrio strain CB5, C. acidovorans PX54 responded to grazing with a strong expansion of cell length distribution toward large, filamentous cells. These changes in cell morphology resulted in a high percentage of inedible cells in the C. acidovorans PX54 population but not in the Vibrio strain CB5 population, which caused the observed change in the relative abundances of the strains. Batch culture experiments without the flagellate demonstrated that the elongation of C. acidovorans PX54 cells was dependent on their growth rate. This indicates that the occurrence of filamentous C. acidovorans PX54 cells is not a direct response to chemical stimuli released by the flagellates but rather a response to increased growth rates due to flagellate grazing.
