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

In the symbiotic relationship of legumes and rhizobia, disaccharides, mostly sucrose, are produced by the plant and provided as energy and carbon sources for the bacteria. The microbes, in turn, store these carbohydrates as acyclic oligohexoses to buffer fluctuations in supply. Simultaneously, cyclic oligohexoses (β-glucans) of varying sizes and structures are synthesized by nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria both in free living form and in legume root nodules. In the bacteroids, transformed from
