The role of AdhE mutations in
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
IMPORTANCE: Many anaerobic bacteria maintain redox equilibrium by producing reduced organic compounds such as ethanol. The final two steps of ethanol production are mediated by a bifunctional enzyme, AdhE, and this enzyme is a frequent target of mutations in strains engineered for increased ethanol production. Paradoxically, these mutations increase ethanol production by eliminating the activity of one domain of the AdhE enzyme (the ADH domain). This provides additional support for a redox-imbalance theory of alcohol tolerance, which challenges the prevailing hypothesis that alcohol tolerance is associated with cell membrane effects.
