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-promoting bacteria (PGPB) may trigger tolerance against biotic/abiotic stresses and growth enhancement in plants. In this study, an endophytic bacterial strain from rapeseed was isolated to assess its role in enhancing plant growth and tolerance to abiotic stresses, as well as banded leaf and sheath blight disease in maize. Based on 16S rDNA and BIOLOG test analysis, the 330-2 strain was identified as Bacillus subtilis. The strain produced indole-3-acetic acid, siderophores, lytic enzymes and solubilized different sources of organic/inorganic phosphates and zinc. Furthermore, the strain strongly suppressed the in vitro growth of Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Alternaria alternata, Cochliobolus heterostrophus, and Nigrospora oryzae. The strain also significantly increased the seedling growth (ranging 14-37%) of rice and maize. Removing PCR analysis indicated that 114 genes were differentially expressed, among which 10%, 32% and 10% were involved in antibiotic production (e.g., srfAA, bae, fen, mln, and dfnI), metabolism (e.g., gltA, pabA, and ggt) and transportation of nutrients (e.g., fhu, glpT, and gltT), respectively. In summary, these results clearly indicate the effectiveness and mechanisms of B. subtilis strain 330-2 in enhancing plant growth, as well as tolerance to biotic/abiotic stresses, which suggests that the strain has great potential for commercialization as a vital biological control agent.
