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

Interbacterial competition assays have become an essential tool for understanding the interactions between bacteria and their ability to outcompete one another in natural environments. This is especially relevant when studying the type VI secretion system (T6SS), a contact-dependent bacterial weapon that can be used to kill or inhibit the growth of other competing bacteria. Some beneficial environmental microorganisms such as Pseudomonas putida rely on the T6SS as their primary biocontrol mechanism to eliminate resilient plant pathogens. Competition assays are an essential methodology in this field that allows us to understand the efficacy of this bacterial nanoweapon. This chapter outlines the methodology for conducting in vitro and in planta competition assays between P. putida, a well-known biocontrol agent, and phytopathogenic bacterial species of economic and scientific interest.
