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

This article (Zhou et al. 2018) has been retracted by the authors because the sequence BIBAC 002A111F06 was incorrectly assigned to the wrong bacterial species. The BIBAC 002A111F06 sequence (GenBank Accession KC129717) reported in the paper was attributed to Populus euphratica Oliv. The BLAST search of this KC129717 sequence against the nr database at NCBI showed that it has very high similarity to a genomic sequence from the gram-negative bacteria Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. The bacterium associates with Populus euphratica Oliv. and DNA isolated from Populus euphratica Oliv. for the construction of the BIBAC clone library inlcuded DNA from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Therefore, the phenotype of the transgenic Arabidopsis line carrying the KC129717 sequence cannot be attributed to genes from Populus euphratica Oliv. The authors apologize for the confusion and misinterpretation of our data resulting from the incorrect sequence assignment. All authors agree to this retraction.
