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

The ubiquitous bacterial second messenger c-di-GMP is intensively studied in pathogens but less so in mutualistic bacteria. Here, we report a genome-wide investigation of functional diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) synthesizing c-di-GMP from two molecules of GTP in Sinorhizobium fredii CCBAU45436, a facultative microsymbiont fixing nitrogen in nodules of diverse legumes, including soybean. Among 25 proteins harboring a putative GGDEF domain catalyzing the biosynthesis of c-di-GMP, eight functional DGCs were identified by heterogenous expression in Escherichia coli in a Congo red binding assay. This screening result was further verified by
