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

Purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) have attracted attention as a group of microorganisms with plant growth-promoting abilities. Notably, agriculturally important PNSB, including members of the genera Rhodopseudomonas and Rhodobacter, are classified within the class α-Proteobacteria. However, molecular visualization of these bacteria in plant tissues remains challenging without bacterial genetic manipulation. In this study, a DIG-labeled RNA probe was developed from a 16S rRNA region showing relatively high sequence conservation among the tested α-Proteobacterial strains. Northern blot analysis using RNA extracted from 13 bacterial strains demonstrated preferential hybridization of the probe to the tested α-Proteobacterial strains. Then, in situ hybridization (ISH) of fixed bacterial cells produced positive signals only in the tested α-Proteobacterial strains. Finally, after inoculation of
