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

Study of rhizospheric bacteria from important plants is very essential, as they are known to influence plant growth and productivity, and also produce industrially important metabolites. Origanum vulgare is a perennial medicinal aromatic plant rich in phenolic antioxidants. Present study investigates the diversity of culturable root-associated bacteria from this plant in Palampur, India, which constitutes a unique ecosystem due to high rain fall, wide temperature fluctuations and acidic soil. Both root endophytes and rhizospheric soil bacteria were isolated, which resulted in a total of 120 morphologically different isolates. They were found to group into 21 phylotypes based on restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Growth medium composition had significant effect on the diversity of the isolated bacterial populations. The isolates were characterized for various metabolic, plant growth promoting (PGP) and other biotechnologically useful activities, based on which they were clustered into groups by principal component analysis. Majority of the isolates belonged to γ-Proteobacteria and Firmicutes. Pseudomonas and Stenotrophomonas were the most dominant species and together constituted 27.5 % of the total isolates. Many isolates, especially γ-Proteobacteria, showed very high PGP activities. Few isolates exhibited very high antioxidant activity, which may find potential applications in food and health industries. Firmicutes were catabolically the most versatile group and produced several hydrolytic enzymes. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first study describing rhizospheric microbial community of O. vulgare.
