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

Microbial synthesis of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) as a fertilizer can promote the development of selenium-rich agricultural products. However, most known selenium-reduction strains exhibit a tolerance to selenite of ≤ 100 mmol/L and possess relatively low reduction efficiency. In this study, three strains capable of tolerating selenite concentrations of > 300 mmol/L were screened from selenium-rich soil in Bama, Guangxi, China. Based on 16 S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the three strains were identified as Citrobacter sp.BM-1, Providencia sp.BM-2, and Brucella sp.BM-3. Notably, Brucella sp.BM-3 represents a novel selenium-reducing bacteria. All three strains reduced SeO
