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

In the present research, we aimed to select efficient rhizobia and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) from fenugreek nodules and assess their performance as bio-inoculum for intercropped fenugreek and barley. Inoculation effects with selected bacteria were investigated firstly on fenugreek plants under greenhouse experiment and secondly on intercropped fenugreek and barley under three different agro-environmental conditions for two consecutive years. Sinorhizobium meliloti F42 was selected due to its ability to nodulate fenugreek and effectively improve plant growth. Among non-nodulating endophytic bacteria, Variovorax paradoxus F310 strain was selected regarding its plant growth-promoting traits showed in vitro and confirmed in vivo under greenhouse experiment. Field inoculation trials revealed a significant improvement in fenugreek nodulation (up to + 97%) as well as in soil enzymes activities (up to + 209%), shoot N content (up to + 18%), shoot dry weight (up to + 40%), photosynthetic assimilation (up to + 34%) and chlorophyll content of both intercropped plants in response to the mono-inoculation with Sinorhizobium meliloti F42, compared to the un-inoculated treatment at the SBR and JBS sites. Variovorax paradoxus F310 inoculation significantly increased shoot P content of both intercropped plants at the three experimental sites compared to the un-inoculated treatment (up to + 48%). It was shown that bacterial inoculation was more efficient at the low-rainfall region than the high-rainfall region. The co-inoculation with Sinorhizobium meliloti F42 and Variovorax paradoxus F310 resulted in a significant reduction in fenugreek nodulation and shoot N content. This survey showed the benefits of rhizobial and PGPR inoculation as efficient bio-inoculums to promote the cereal-legume intercropping system and highlights the influence of site-specific environmental factors on Rhizobium-PGPR-plant interactions.
