Symbiotic use of pathogenic strategies: rhizobial protein secretion systems.
Review in Nature reviews. Microbiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 134 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
Rhizobia - a diverse group of soil bacteria - induce the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of legumes. Nodulation begins when the roots initiate a molecular dialogue with compatible rhizobia in the soil. Most rhizobia reply by secreting lipochitooligosaccharidic nodulation factors that enable entry into the legume. A molecular exchange continues, which, in compatible interactions, permits rhizobia to invade root cortical cells, differentiate into bacteroids and fix nitrogen. Rhizobia also use additional molecular signals, such as secreted proteins or surface polysaccharides. One group of proteins secreted by rhizobia have homologues in bacterial pathogens and may have been co-opted by rhizobia for symbiotic purposes.
