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

Plant growth promotion by rhizobacteria is a widely spread phenomenon. However only a few rhizobacteria have been studied thoroughly. Rhizobium is the best-studied rhizobacterium. It forms a symbiosis with a restricted host range. Azospirillum is another plant-growth-promoting rhizobacterium which forms rhizocoenoses with a wide range of plants. In both bacteria, the interaction with the plant involves the attraction toward the host plant and the attachment to the surface of the root. Both bacteria are attracted to plant roots, but differ in specificity. Attachment to plant roots occurs in two steps for both bacteria: a quick, reversible adsorption, and a slow, irreversible anchoring to the plant root surface. However, for the two systems under study, the bacterial surface molecules involved in plant root attachment are not necessarily the same.
