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

The free-living diazotroph Azotobacter vinelandii produces three genetically distinct but functionally and mechanistically similar nitrogenase isozymes, designated as Mo-dependent, V-dependent, and Fe-only. They respectively harbor nearly identical catalytic cofactors that are distinguished by a heterometal site occupied by Mo (FeMo-cofactor), V (FeV-cofactor), or Fe (FeFe-cofactor). Completion of FeMo-cofactor and FeV-cofactor formation occurs on molecular scaffolds prior to delivery to their catalytic partners. In contrast, completion of FeFe-cofactor assembly occurs directly within its cognate catalytic partner. Because hybrid nitrogenase species that contain the incorrect cofactor type cannot reduce N
