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

Phaseolus vulgaris L. (common bean) is a legume indigenous to American countries currently cultivated in all continents, which is nodulated by different rhizobial species and symbiovars. Most of species able to nodulate this legume worldwide belong to the genus Rhizobium, followed by those belonging to the genera Ensifer (formerly Sinorhizobium) and Pararhizobium (formerly Rhizobium) and minority by species of the genus Bradyrhizobium. All these genera belong to the phylum alpha-Proteobacteria, but the nodulation of P. vulgaris has also been reported for some species belonging to Paraburkholderia and Cupriavidus from the beta-Proteobacteria. Several species nodulating P. vulgaris were originally isolated from nodules of this legume in American countries and are linked to the symbiovars phaseoli and tropici, which are currently present in other continents probably because they were spread in their soils together with the P. vulgaris seeds. In addition, this legume can be nodulated by species and symbiovars originally isolated from nodules of other legumes due its high promiscuity, a concept currently related with the ability of a legume to be nodulated by several symbiovars rather than by several species. In this article we review the species and symbiovars able to nodulate P. vulgaris in different countries and continents and the challenges on the study of the P. vulgaris endosymbionts diversity in those countries where they have not been studied yet, that will allow to select highly effective rhizobial strains in order to guarantee the success of P. vulgaris inoculation.
