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

Beneficial rhizobacteria can inhibit soilborne pathogens by secreting an array of polyketides, lipopeptides and dipeptides, but the effect of polyketides on crown gall disease caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 is unclear. In this study, the antagonistic compounds of the plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium Bacillus velezensis CLA178 was sorted with different organic phases, purified by high-pressure liquid chromatography, and detected by a liquid chromatography ionization-mass spectrometry system. Macrolactins were found to be the compounds with antagonistic activity against A. tumefaciens C58. When the macrolactin synthesis pathway was disrupted, the mutant △mlnA only showed slight antagonistic activity against A. tumefaciens C58. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the inhibition of C58 cell division by cell-free culture from the mutant △mlnA was weaker than that by cell-free culture from CLA178. The mutant deficient in production of macrolactin showed a weaker transcription of genes involved in attachment of C58 to plant and lower biocontrol of crown gall disease in rose than the wild-type strain CLA178. The effect of macrolactins on pathogen C58 has been also confirmed by the purified macrolactins. These results reveal that macrolactins contribute to the biocontrol activity of C58 by inhibiting cell division and downregulating the transcription of chvB and chvE.
