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

Endophytes, bacterial, fungal or viral, colonize plants often without causing visible symptoms. More important, they may benefit host plants in many ways, most notably by preventing diseases caused by normally virulent pathogens. Previous studies have shown that an isolate of V. dahliae from eggplant, Dvd-E6, can colonize tomato endophytically, producing taller and more robust tomato plants while providing protection against a virulent V. dahliae, race 1 (Vd1) isolate. Expression analyses suggest this requires interplay between Dvd-E6 and the plant that involves resistance and defense genes. To examine the possibility of a broader effect, dual interactions have been further examined with a more distantly related pathogen, Verticillium albo-atrum (Vaa). The results indicate Dvd-E6 colonization selectively modifies the expression of specific tomato genes to be detrimental to Vd1 but not Vaa, providing evidence that Verticillium-induced protection is range-restricted.
