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

A mutant strain of Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110 lacking isocitrate dehydrogenase activity was created to determine whether this enzyme was required for symbiotic nitrogen fixation with soybean (Glycine max cv. Williams 82). The isocitrate dehydrogenase mutant, strain 5051, was constructed by insertion of a streptomycin resistance gene cassette. The mutant was devoid of isocitrate dehydrogenase activity and of immunologically detectable protein, indicating there is only one copy in the genome. Strain 5051 grew well on a variety of carbon sources, including arabinose, pyruvate, succinate, and malate, but, unlike many microorganisms, was a glutamate auxotroph. Although the formation of nodules was slightly delayed, the mutant was able to form nodules on soybean and reduce atmospheric dinitrogen as well as the wild type, indicating that the plant was able to supply sufficient glutamate to permit infection. Combined with the results of other citric acid cycle mutants, these results suggest a role for the citric acid cycle in the infection and colonization stage of nodule development but not in the actual fixation of atmospheric dinitrogen.
