Transcriptional analysis and mutation of a dnaA-like gene in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Transcription of the dnaA gene of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is light dependent and yields a monocistronic mRNA, as determined by Northern analysis. Surprisingly, mutants with inactivated dnaA were viable. In batch cultures under standard conditions, the mutants grew like the wild type and did not show an aberrant phenotype. We conclude that, unlike the situation in other bacteria, dnaA of Synechocystis sp. cannot have an essential function, such as initiation of DNA replication.
