Growth promotion and protection from drought in Eucalyptus grandis seedlings inoculated with beneficial bacteria embedded in a superabsorbent polymer.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Eucalyptus grandis is a globally important tree crop. Greenhouse-grown tree seedlings often face water deficit after outplanting to the field, which can affect their survival and establishment severely. This can be alleviated by the application of superabsorbent hydrophilic polymers (SAPs). Growth promoting bacteria can also improve crop abiotic stress tolerance; however, their use in trees is limited, partly due to difficulties in the application and viability loss. In this work, we evaluated the improvement of drought tolerance of E. grandis seedlings by inoculating with two Pseudomonas strains (named M25 and N33), carried by an acrylic-hydrocellulosic SAP. We observed significant bacterial survival in the seedling rhizosphere 50 days after inoculation. Under gradual water deficit conditions, we observed a considerable increase in the water content and wall elasticity of M25-inoculated plants and a trend towards growth promotion with both bacteria. Under rapid water deficit conditions, which caused partial defoliation, both strains significantly enhanced the formation of new leaves, while inoculation with M25 reduced the transpiration rate. Co-inoculation with M25 and N33 substantially increased growth and photosynthetic capacity. We conclude that the selected bacteria can benefit E. grandis early growth and can be easily inoculated at transplant by using an acrylic-hydrocellulosic SAP.
