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

To fish-out novel salt-tolerance genes, metagenomic DNA of moderately saline sediments of India's largest hypersaline Sambhar Lake was cloned in fosmid. Two functionally-picked clones helped the Escherichia coli host to tolerate 0.6 M NaCl. Deep sequencing of their fosmid DNA insert revealed 32-37% of genes to encode transporters, mostly belonging to ABC (ATP-Binding Cassette)-type, but none specific to channel Na
