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

Selenium (Se) is an essential element for human health. Se-enriched agricultural products can promote people's intake of Se. Microorganisms play an important role in Se cycling. In this study, two new bacterial strains were isolated from paddy soil and were identified as Chitinophaga sp. and Comamonas testosteroni, respectively. More than 44% and 39% of 1.0 mM selenite were reduced in 84 h by them using yeast extract as carbon source, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) results indicated that the reduction product of selenite was nanometer Se. These strains could promote the available Se in soil and the content of Se in rice plants in pot experiments. Organic combined Se in soils was increased up to 35%, accompanied by the 92% and 130% increase of Se in rice plants. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of Se reduction by Chitinophaga. This work might provide a prospective strategy for microbial fortification of Se in corps.
