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.
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 symbiotic properties of rhizobial bacteria are driven by the horizontal gene transfer of symbiotic genes, which are located in symbiosis islands or on plasmids. The symbiotic megaplasmid pDOA9 of Bradyrhizobium sp. DOA9, carrying the nod, nif, fix, and type three secretion system (T3SS) genes, has been conjugatively transferred to different Bradyrhizobium strains. In the present study, non-nodulating B. cosmicum S23321, which shows a close phylogenetic relationship with Bradyrhizobium sp. DOA9, but lacks symbiotic properties, was used to carry pDOA9 (annotated as chimeric S2:pDOA9). The results obtained showed that pDOA9 conferred symbiotic properties on S23321; however, nodulation phenotypes varied among the DOA9, chimeric ORS278:pDOA9, and S2:pDOA9 strains even though they all carried symbiotic pDOA9 plasmid. S23321 appeared to gain symbiotic nodulation from pDOA9 by processing nodulation genes and broadening the host range. The present results also showed the successful formation of active nodules in Arachis hypogaea (Dalbergoid) and Vigna radiata (Millitoid) by chimeric S2:pDOA9, while Crotalaria juncea (Genistoid) and Macroptilium atropurpureum (Millitoid) formed nodule-like structures. The formation of nodules and nodule-like structures occurred in a nod factor-dependent manner because the nod factor-lacking strain (S2:pDOA9ΩnodB) completely abolished nodulation in all legumes tested. Moreover, T3SS carried by S2:pDOA9 exerted negative effects on symbiosis with Crotalaria juncea, which was consistent with the results obtained on DOA9. T3SS exhibited symbiotic compatibility with V. radiata when nodulated by S23321. These outcomes implied that pDOA9 underwent changes during legume evolution that broadened host specificity and the compatibility of nodulation in a manner that was dependent on the chromosomal background of the recipient as well as legume host restrictions.
