Bacillus as a source of phytohormones for use in agriculture.
Review in Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 58 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
Microbial plant biostimulants (MPBs) are capable of improving the productivity and quality of crops by activating plant physiological and molecular processes, representing an efficient tool in sustainable agriculture. Through phytohormone production, MPBs are capable of regulating plant physiological processes, increasing the productivity and quality of crops, in addition to being an efficient alternative in the industrial production of phytohormones. Bacillus is a bacterial genus with various species on the market being used as biopesticides, due to their ability to produce antimicrobial, nematicidal and insecticidal compounds. The capability of Bacillus species to protect plants against pests and/or pathogens also entails the triggering or increase of plant defense responses. Furthermore, a relevant number of species from the genus Bacillus provoke plant growth promotion by different mechanisms such as increasing the tolerance of their host plants under abiotic stress conditions or improving plant nutrition. In several cases, the plant response is mediated by the bacterial production of phytohormones. In the present work, all studies from recent decades where the production of phytohormones by Bacillus species are reported, highlighting their role in host plants and the mechanisms by which they are capable of increasing plant growth, promoting their development, and improving their response to different stresses. KEY POINTS: • Different Bacillus-species are known as agricultural biopesticides. • Bacillus role as biostimulants is being increasingly addressed. • Bacillus represents a good source of phytohormones of agricultural interest.
