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

To understand carbon partitioning in roots and nodules of Datisca glomerata, activities of sucrose-degrading enzymes and sugar transporter expression patterns were analyzed in both organs, and plasmodesmal connections between nodule cortical cells were examined by transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that in nodules, the contribution of symplastic transport processes is increased in comparison to roots, specifically in infected cells which develop many secondary plasmodesmata. Invertase activities are dramatically reduced in nodules as compared to roots, indicating that here the main enzyme responsible for the cleavage of sucrose is sucrose synthase. A high-affinity, low-specificity monosaccharide transporter whose expression is induced in infected cells prior to the onset of bacterial nitrogen fixation, and which has an unusually low pH optimum and may be involved in turgor control or hexose retrieval during infection thread growth.
