The Formation of Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteroids Is Delayed but Not Abolished in Soybean Infected by an [alpha]-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase-Deficient Mutant of Bradyrhizobium japonicum.
Article in Plant physiology, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
A mutant strain of Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110 devoid of [alpha]-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity (LSG184) was used to test whether this tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme is necessary to support nitrogen fixation during symbiosis with soybean (Glycine max). LSG184 formed nodules about 5 d later than the wild-type strain, and the nodules, although otherwise normal in structure, contained many fewer infected host cells than is typical. At 19 d after inoculation cells infected with the mutant strain were only partially filled with bacteroids and showed large accumulations of starch, but by 32 d after inoculation the host cells infected with the mutant appeared normal. The onset of nitrogen fixation was delayed about 15 d for plants inoculated with LSG184, and the rate, on a per nodule fresh weight basis, reached only about 20% of normal. However, because nodules formed by LSG184 contained only about 20% of the normal number of bacteroids, it could be inferred that the mutant, on an individual bacteroid basis, was fixing nitrogen at near wild-type rates. Therefore, the loss of [alpha]-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase in B. japonicum does not prevent the formation or the functioning of nitrogen-fixing bacteroids in soybean.
