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 bacteria (PGPB) are of increased interest as they offer sustainable alternatives to the more common chemical fertilisers. Research, however, has increased into the use of PGPB as bioinoculants to improve yields. Legumes are known to interact with diazotroph PGPB which increase nutrient uptake, prevent pathogenic infections, and actively fix nitrogen. This study aimed to comprehensively describe PGPB associated with legumes grown in Namibia through analysis of the site-specific bacterial microbiomes. In the present study, we used the 16S rRNA sequencing approach to determine the structure of rhizosphere, root, and seed endosphere microbiomes of five drought-tolerant legume species:
