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

Rice foot rot, caused by Dickeya oryzae, is a destructive bacterial disease. The Vfm quorum-sensing (QS) system is a key virulence regulator of this pathogen. However, the mechanisms by which it perceives and integrates upstream environmental signals for precise transcriptional control are poorly understood. Here, we identify a cascade regulatory network involving the MarR-family transcription factors OhrR and EmrR. Deletion of ohrR in D. oryzae EC1 significantly reduced the Vfm signalling activity, diminished the production of virulence factors including phytotoxin zeamines and plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, and attenuated its pathogenicity. Molecular analyses revealed that OhrR directly bound to the key promoters in the vfm cluster (P
