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

This protocol combines rhizobial spot inoculation with deep-tissue imaging to capture cellular processes during early nodule development in the legume Medicago truncatula. We describe steps to visualize DNA replication activity and cell geometry as indicators of cell proliferation and cell expansion processes. We detail steps for rhizobial spot inoculation of seedlings, incubation in 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) medium, sample fixation and labeling of replicated DNA, clearing, staining of the cell walls, followed by confocal imaging. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lee et al.
