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

Seven bacterial isolates were obtained from crown gall in blueberry plants (Vaccinium corymbosum) growing in Serbia in 2020. Phylogenetic analysis of the novel isolates using four housekeeping genes - atpD, dnaK, glnA, and rpoB, as well as gene 16 S rRNA - revealed their distinct position, separate from other known Agrobacterium species, but closest to A. vaccinii, A. rosae and A. rubi. Genome sequencing of one of these blueberry isolates revealed less than 86% average nucleotide identity (ANI) between the blueberry isolate and type strains of Agrobacterium species, indicating that it does not belong to any previously described species. Although genome sequencing revealed absence of the tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid, stabbing the crown region with bacterial cultures induced gall-like structures formed on blueberry plants (cultivar Duke). Phenotypically, these blueberry isolates were differentiated from closely related Agrobacterium species in their utilization of dulcitol, d-tagatose and xylitol. On the basis of these results, Serbian blueberry isolates are considered to represent a novel species of the genus Agrobacterium, for which the name Agrobacterium vacciniicorymbosi sp. nov. is proposed, with BA1120
