Formate-dependent autotrophic growth in Sinorhizobium meliloti.
Article in Journal of bacteriology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
It was found that S. meliloti strain SmA818, which is cured of pSymA, could not grow on defined medium containing only formate and bicarbonate as carbon sources. Growth experiments showed that Rm1021 was capable of formate/bicarbonate-dependent growth, suggesting that it was capable of autotrophic-type growth. The annotated genome of S. meliloti Rm1021 contains three formate dehydrogenase genes. A systematic disruption of each of the three formate dehydrogenase genes, as well as the genes encoding determinants of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham, cycle was carried out to determine which of these determinants played a role in growth on this defined medium. The results showed that S. meliloti is capable of formate-dependent autotrophic growth. Formate-dependent autotrophic growth is dependent on the presence of the chromosomally located fdsABCDG operon, as well as the cbb operon carried by pSymB. Growth was also dependent on the presence of either of the two triose-phosphate isomerase genes (tpiA or tpiB) that are found in the genome. In addition, it was found that fdoGHI carried by pSymA encodes a formate dehydrogenase that allows Rm1021 to carry out formate-dependent respiration. Taken together, the data allow us to present a model of how S. meliloti can grow on defined medium containing only formate and bicarbonate as carbon sources.
