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

Genista monspessulana is a wild legume of high fodder value in northern Morocco, where it contributes to livestock feeding, particularly during the lean season. The plant fixes nitrogen in symbiosis with soil bacteria known as rhizobia. To identify and characterize its symbiotic partners, we isolated twenty-two bacteria inhabiting the plant nodules and assessed their phenotypic and genetic diversity as well as their symbiotic efficiency. The 16S rRNA sequences analysis proved that 7 isolates were affiliated with the genus Bradyrhizobium, which significantly improve plant growth under nitrogen deficiency. Based on multi-locus sequence analysis using five different housekeeping genes, three representative strains were selected for further analyses. The phylogenetic analysis of the concatenated sequences of the five genes showed that the closest type strain is Bradyrhizobium canariense LMG 2122265T. The strains nodulate also other Genisteae such as Cytisus villosus and Lupinus luteus besides their host plant. The phylogenetic analysis of the symbiotic nodC gene allowed the assignment of the strains to the symbiovar genistearum. The three strains proved to be very efficient in the fixation of N
