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

The growth of Rhizobium meliloti 1021 in an experimental alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) rhizosphere was stimulated by adding nanomolar amounts of biotin. To overcome this biotin limitation, R. meliloti strains were constructed by conjugating the Escherichia coli biotin synthesis operon into biotin auxotroph R. meliloti 1021-B3. Transconjugant strains Rm1021-WS10 and Rm1021-WS11 grew faster in vitro and achieved a higher cell density than did R. meliloti 1021 and overproduced biotin on a defined medium. The increase in cell yield was associated with as much as a 99% loss in viability for Rm1021-WS11, but data suggested that a separate stabilizing factor in the E. coli DNA reduced cell death in Rm1021-WS10. In rhizosphere tests, the recombinant strains showed delayed growth and competed poorly against Rm1021.
