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

Soybean (Glycine max) is one of the most important crops worldwide. Root nodule symbiosis between soybean and rhizobia has been extensively exami-ned due to its significance for agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. Recent advances have enhanced our understanding of the soybean genotypes known as the Rj/rj genotypes, which play a critical role in regulating root nodule symbiosis. Furthermore, the function of rhizobium-secreted proteins, termed effectors, in eliciting specific responses in soybean Rj/rj genotypes has been elucidated. This review summarizes the involvement of soybean Rj/rj genotypes and their corresponding root nodule bacterial effectors in the regulation of nodule formation. We also discussed the potential for manipulating root nodule symbiosis by applying Rj/rj genotypes in soybean breeding programs, which may enhance nitrogen fixation efficiency and subsequently reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural land.
