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

Bradyrhizobium sp. strain SUTN9-2 demonstrates cell enlargement, increased DNA content, and efficient nitrogen fixation in response to rice (Oryza sativa) extract. This response is attributed to the interaction between the plant's cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) and the Bradyrhizobium BacA-like transporter (BclA), similar to bacteroid in legume nodules. The present study reveals that SUTN9-2 can also establish functional endophytic interactions with chili (Capsicum annuum) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants. When exposed to extracts from chili and tomato, SUTN9-2 exhibits cell elongation, polyploidy, and reduced cell viability, with the effects being less pronounced for tomato extract. Transcriptomic and cytological analyses revealed that genes associated with CAMP resistance, nitrogen metabolism, nitrogen fixation, defense responses, and secretion systems were upregulated, while genes related to the cell cycle and certain CAMP-resistance mechanisms were downregulated, particularly in response to chili extract. This study suggests that SUTN9-2 likely evolves resistance mechanisms against CAMPs found in rice, chili, and tomato plants through mechanisms involving the protease-chaperone DegP, AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux pumps, and polysaccharides. These mechanisms facilitate efflux, degradation, and the formation of protective barriers to resist CAMPs. Such adaptations enable SUTN9-2 to persist and colonize host plants despite antimicrobial pressures, influencing its viability, cell differentiation, and nitrogen fixation during endophytic interactions with various plant hosts.
