Flagellar-dependent motility in Mesorhizobium tianshanense is involved in the early stage of plant host interaction: study of an flgE mutant.
Article in Current microbiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Bacterial motility is most likely a critical factor for rhizobium to chemotactically colonize on the root surface prior to infecting leguminous plant hosts. Several studies of the rhizobium flagellar filament have been reported, but little is known about the rhizobium flagellum hook. To investigate the roles of the hook protein in flagellum synthesis in Mesorhizobium tianshanense, the hook protein-encoding gene flgE of M. tianshanense was amplified by PCR and sequenced. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences revealed pronounced similarities in Domain 1 and lower similarities in Domain 2, which are supposed to be related to hook structure assembly and antigenic diversity, respectively. The level of transcription of flgE increased along with the cell growth and reached its maximum at the middle log phase. Disruption of the flgE gene caused a flagellar-less phenotype, thereby causing complete loss of swimming ability, modified nutrient-related swarming ability and biofilm formation. Moreover, the absence of flagellar caused decreased bacterial attachment on the root hair, suggesting that flagellar is involved in the early stage of symbiosis process.
