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

Microbial population of soils irrigated with industrial wastewater may contain certain exopolysaccharides (EPS) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) producing bacterial strains having the ability to tolerate heavy metals along with plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits. As cadmium is one of the most toxic heavy metals for soils, plants, animals, and human beings, the present study was planned to isolate and characterize EPS- and IAA-producing, Cd-tolerant bacterial strains having tolerance against heavy metals along with plant growth-promoting traits. A total of 30 rhizobacterial strains (FN1-FN30) were isolated from rhizosphere soil collected from fields around industrial areas and roadsides irrigated with industrial wastewater. Out of these, eight isolates with the combined ability of IAA production and EPS production were characterized for PGP traits. On the basis of multifarious PGP traits and the results of root colonization assay, three most efficient EPS- and IAA-producing, Cd-tolerant plant growth-promoting strains, i.e., FN13, FN14, and FN16, were selected for multiple metal (Cd, Pb, Ni, and Cu) tolerance test along with quantification of growth, and IAA and EPS production abilities under Cd stress. Increasing levels of Cd stress negatively affected the tested characteristics of these strains, but FN13 showed more stability in growth, IAA production (18.24 μg mL
