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

Azorhizobium caulinodans is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium that forms root nodules on its host legume, Sesbania rostrata. This agriculturally significant symbiotic relationship is important in lowland rice cultivation and allows nitrogen fixation under flood conditions. Chemotaxis plays an important role in bacterial colonization of the rhizosphere. Plant roots release chemical compounds that are sensed by bacteria, triggering chemotaxis along a concentration gradient toward the roots. This gives motile bacteria a significant competitive advantage during root surface colonization. Although plant-associated bacterial genomes often encode multiple chemotaxis systems,
