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

Plant-parasitic nematodes are associated with specifically attached soil bacteria. To investigate these bacteria, we employed culture-dependent methods to isolate a representative set of strains from the cuticle of the infective stage (J2) of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne hapla in different soils. The bacteria with the highest affinity to attach to J2 belonged to the genera Microbacterium, Sphingopyxis, Brevundimonas, Acinetobacter, and Micrococcus as revealed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Dynamics of the attachment of two strains showed fast adhesion in less than two hours, and interspecific competition for attachment sites. Isolates from the cuticle of M. hapla J2 attached to the lesion nematode Pratylenchus penetrans, and vice versa, suggesting similar attachment sites on both species. Removal of the surface coat by treatment of J2 with the cationic detergent CTAB reduced bacterial attachment, but did not prevent it. Some of the best attaching bacteria impaired M. hapla performance in vitro by significantly affecting J2 mortality, J2 motility and egg hatch. Most of the tested bacterial attachers significantly reduced the invasion of J2 into tomato roots, suggesting their beneficial role in soil suppressiveness against M. hapla.
