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.
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
Nitrogen is a key limiting factor for crop growth, and improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is critical for achieving high crop yields. In this study, both culture-independent and culture-dependent approaches were employed to systematically analyze the community composition and functional traits of seed endophytic bacteria in rice varieties with contrasting NUE. The results revealed diverse endophytic bacterial communities across the four rice varieties, with Shannon indices ranging from 2.95 to 3.23. However, significant compositional differences were observed among varieties. Rare taxa accounted for over 51% of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in each variety and were the primary drivers of community diversity and differentiation. In contrast, core taxa (shared OTUs) were highly conserved across varieties, largely composed of abundant taxa (OTUs > 39%, total relative abundance > 93%), and occupied central positions in co-occurrence networks, thereby contributing to community stability. Five representative strains exhibited diverse plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits
