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

Symbiosis is a concept that has been profoundly shaped by the contributions of women scientists, among whom Lynn Margulis stands as a leading figure. Through her vision and determination, Margulis drew scholarly attention to symbiosis, offering a transformative interpretation of the evolution of living organisms. This mini-review highlights the essential contributions of women researchers to the study of symbioses, tracing the shift from naturalistic and descriptive studies to molecular, genetic, and omics-based approaches.
