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

Salinity is one of the most important factors that limit the productivity of agricultural soils. Certain plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) have the ability to stimulate the growth of crop plants even under salt stress. In the present study, we analysed the potential of PGPB Bacillus toyonensis COPE52 to improve the growth of tomato plants and its capacity to modify its membrane lipid and fatty acid composition under salt stress. Thus, strain COPE52 increased the relative amount of branched chain fatty acids (15:0i and 16:1∆9) and accumulation of an unknown membrane lipid, while phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) levels decreased during growth with 100 and 200 mM NaCl. Importantly, direct and indirect plant growth-promoting (PGP) mechanisms of B. toyonensis COPE52, such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), protease activity, biofilm formation, and antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea, remained unchanged in the presence of NaCl in vitro, compared to controls without salt. In a greenhouse experiment, tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum 'Saladette') showed increased shoot and root length, higher dry biomass, and chlorophyll content when inoculated with B. toyonensis COPE52 at 0 and 100 mM NaCl. In summary, these results indicate that Bacillus toyonensis COPE52 can modify cell membrane lipid components as a potential protecting mechanism to maintain PGP traits under saline-soil conditions.
