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

Agrobacterium tumefaciens stands as one of biotechnology's greatest successes, with all plant genetic engineering building on the strategies of this pathogen. By integrating responses to external pHs, phenols, and monosaccharides, this organism mobilizes oncogenic elements to efficiently transform most dicotyledonous plants. We now show that the complex signaling network used to regulate lateral gene transfer can be resolved as individual signaling modules. While pH and sugar perception are coupled through a common pathway, requiring both low pH and sugar for maximal virulence gene expression, various VirA and ChvE alleles can decouple pH and monosaccharide perception. This VirA and ChvE system may represent a common mechanism that underpins external pH perception in prokaryotes, and the use of these simple genetic elements may now be extended to research on specific responses to changes in environmental pH.
