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

Introduction: Many Gram-negative plant- and animal-pathogenic bacteria employ type IV secretion (T4S) systems to transport proteins or DNA/protein complexes into eukaryotic or bacterial target cells. T4S systems have been divided into minimized and expanded T4S systems and resemble the VirB/VirD4 T4S system from the plant pathogen Results and discussion: In the present study, we show that
