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

Acidovorax citrulli, the causal pathogen of bacterial fruit blotch of cucurbits, relies on a functional type III secretion system (T3SS) for pathogenicity. Two-component systems (TCSs) are primary signal transduction mechanisms for bacteria to detect and adapt to various environmental conditions. However, the role of TCS on regulating T3SS and other virulence factors in response to environmental stimuli is still poorly understood in A. citrulli. Here, we report the identification of a conserved TCS, OmpR/EnvZ, involved in hypersensitive response (HR) induction in Nicotiana benthamiana by screening a transposon-insertion library in the group II strain xjL12 of A. citrulli. Transcription analysis confirmed that OmpR
