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

Rhizobacteria contain various plant-beneficial traits and their inoculation can sustainably increase crop yield and productivity. The present study describes the growth-promoting potential of Brevundimonas spp. isolated from rhizospheric soil of potato from Sahiwal, Pakistan. Four different putative strains TN37, TN39, TN40, and TN44 were isolated by enrichment on nitrogen-free malate medium and identified as Brevundimonas spp. based on their morphology, 16S rRNA gene sequence, and phylogenetic analyses. All strains contained nifH gene except TN39 and exhibited nitrogen fixation potential through acetylene reduction assay (ARA) except TN40. Among all, the Brevundimonas sp. TN37 showed maximum ARA and phosphate solubilization potential but none of them exhibited the ability to produce indole acetic acid. Root colonization studies using transmission electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that Brevundimonas sp. TN37 was resident over the root surface of potato; forming sheets in the grooves in the rhizoplane. TN37, being the best among all was further evaluated in pot experiment using potato cultivar Kuroda in sterilized sand. Results showed that Brevundimonas sp. TN37 increased growth parameters and nitrogen uptake as compared to non-inoculated controls. Based on the results obtained in this study, it can be suggested that Brevundimonas spp. (especially TN37) possess the potential to improve potato growth and stimulate nitrogen uptake. This study is the first report of Brevundimonas spp. as an effective PGPR in potato.
