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

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Ba13 is a plant beneficial bacterium isolated from loessial soil with notable biological activity. This study clarified potential mechanisms underlying the plant growth-promoting and antipathogenic effects of strain Ba13. A pot experiment was used to verify the plant growth-promoting effects of strain Ba13 on tomato, and the antipathogenic activity was tested in petri dishes. The underlying mechanisms were explored based on whole-genome sequencing of strain Ba13 and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) detection of plant hormones and biosynthetic intermediates. The results showed that exposure to strain Ba13 promoted tomato plant growth significantly. Compared with control treatment, bacterial treatment increased plant height and fresh weight by 10.98% and 20.15%, respectively, at 28 days after inoculation. Strain Ba13 exhibited antagonistic activity against all eight plant pathogens tested. The 3,861,210-bp genome of strain Ba13 was predicted to encode antibiotics (e.g., surfactin, bacillaene, bacillomycin D, bacilysin, and bacillibactin) and volatile gaseous compounds (e.g., 2,3-butanediol and acetoin). Genes were also predicted to encode extracellular phytase and β-glucanase that are secreted through the secretory (Sec) system. Strain Ba13 could synthesize indole-3-acetic acid through the indole-3-pyruvic acid pathway. The results of this study indicate that
