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

Genetically modified micro-organisms (GMMs) can be used in agriculture as crop protection agents against plant pests and diseases or as biostimulants intended to enhance plant nutrition. If GMMs are to be utilized in agriculture, they should conform with safety and regulatory requirements. Both academic and non-academic literature were evaluated for developments and commercial status of experimental GMMs intended as crop protection agents and biostimulants. The review also considers regulatory data requirements for GMMs that are relevant for food safety, as recommended by international organizations and authorities in the EU and USA. Experimental GMMs reported in literature and patents are mainly intended for biocontrol of insect pests and phytopathogenic fungi using specialized strains of bacteria (
