The changing paradigm of rhizobial taxonomy and its systematic growth upto postgenomic technologies.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Rhizobia are a diazotrophic group of bacteria that are usually isolated form the nodules in roots, stem of leguminous plants and are able to form nodules in the host plant owing to the presence of symbiotic genes. The rhizobial community is highly diverse, and therefore, the taxonomy and genera-wise classification of rhizobia has been constantly changing since the last three decades. This is mainly due to technical advancements, and shifts in definitions, resulting in a changing paradigm of rhizobia taxonomy. Initially, the taxonomic definitions at the species and sub species level were based on phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA sequence, followed by polyphasic approach to have phenotypic, biochemical, and genetic analysis including multilocus sequence analysis. Rhizobia mainly belonging to α- and β-proteobacteria, and recently new additions from γ-proteobacteria had been classified. Nowadays rhizobial taxonomy has been replaced by genome-based taxonomy that allows gaining more insights of genomic characteristics. These omics-technologies provide genome specific information that considers nodulation and symbiotic genes, along with molecular markers as taxonomic traits. Taxonomy based on complete genome sequence (genotaxonomy), average nucleotide identity, is now being considered as primary approach, resulting in an ongoing paradigm shift in rhizobial taxonomy. Also, pairwise whole-genome comparisons, phylogenomic analyses offer correlations between DNA and DNA re-association values that have delineated biologically important species. This review elaborates the present classification and taxonomy of rhizobia, vis-a-vis development of technical advancements, parameters and controversies associated with it, and describe the updated information on evolutionary lineages of rhizobia.
