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
Outer-membrane characteristics may determine the survivability of rhizobia under diverse abiotic and biotic stresses. Therefore, the role of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and membrane proteins of two stem-nodulating bacteria of Sesbania rostrata (Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571 and Rhizobium sp. WE7) in determining tolerance towards abiotic and biotic stresses (hydrophobics and phages) was investigated. Outer-membrane characteristics (LPS and membrane-protein profiles) of ORS571, WE7 and thirteen standard strains were distinct. ORS571 and WE7 also showed susceptibility towards morphologically distinct phages, i.e., ACSR16 (short-tailed) and WESR29 (long-tailed), respectively. ORS571 and WE7 were tolerant to hydrophobic compounds (triton X-100, rifampicin, crystal violet and deoxycholate). To ascertain the role of outer membrane characteristics in stress tolerance, phage-resistant transconjugant mutants of ORS571 (ORS571-M8 and ORS571-M20) and WE7 (WE7-M9) were developed. LPS- and membrane-protein profiles of mutants differed from that of respective wild types (ORS571 and WE7). In in vitro assay, phages got adsorbed onto purified LPS-membrane protein fractions of wild types. Phages did not adsorb onto membrane fraction of mutants and standard strains. Mutant with reduced expression of LPS (ORS571-M20 and WE7-M9) showed reduced tolerance towards hydrophobics. However, the tolerance was unaffected in mutant (ORS571-M8) where expression of LPS was not reduced but pattern was different. The tolerance level of mutants towards hydrophobics varied with the expression of LPS, whereas the specificity towards phages is correlated with the specific LPS pattern.
