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

Plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacteria are important to the development of sustainable agricultural systems. PGP microbes that fix atmospheric nitrogen (diazotrophs) could minimize the application of industrially derived fertilizers and function as a biofertilizer. The bacterium Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus is a nitrogen-fixing PGP microbe originally discovered in association with sugarcane plants, where it functions as an endophyte. It also forms endophyte associations with a range of other agriculturally relevant crop plants. G. diazotrophicus requires microaerobic conditions for diazotrophic growth. We generated a transposon library for G. diazotrophicus and cultured the library under various growth conditions and culture medium compositions to measure fitness defects associated with individual transposon inserts (transposon insertion sequencing [Tn-seq]). Using this library, we probed more than 3,200 genes and ascertained the importance of various genes for diazotrophic growth of this microaerobic endophyte. We also identified a set of essential genes.
