1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Fluctuating environments can lead to phenotypic heterogeneity within a monoclonal bacterial population, especially in response to antibiotics or the human immune system. Methods are required to analyze the physiology of single cells to understand how individual cells interact with their environment and adapt to pH stress. We report a ratiometric, fluorescent probe to sense cytoplasmic pH in bacteria. Our probes are based on hemicyanine dyes and are taken up into both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The probes are selective under a broad range of biologically relevant conditions. The response to pH changes is reversible and rapid, allowing for the real-time tracking of pH fluctuations. The sensing of these probes was tuned to allow for monitoring fluctuations around neutrality and biologically relevant acidifications. These probes were validated for cytoplasmic pH sensing in
