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

Unlike that of other crops, the growth of tea plants can be promoted by aluminum, but its regulation mechanism remains unclear. Some endophytes can also promote growth of plant hosts. In this paper, tea roots treated with aluminum were used to study the growth-promoting traits and aluminum tolerance of endophytes. Meta-16S rDNA analysis revealed that Burkholderia was enriched in tea roots after aluminum treatment, and it was the dominant strain for hydroponic tea roots and field tea roots. Actinomycetes constituted the dominant strains in hydroponic tea seedlings treated with aluminum. Sixteen endophytic bacteria, including 12 strains of Firmicutes, 2 strains of Proteobacteria and 2 strains of Actinomycetes, were isolated and identified from hydroponic tea roots treated with different aluminum concentrations. Growth-promoting activity analysis showed that the isolated endophytic bacteria all had more than one plant growth-promoting trait. Among them, B4 (Bacillus nealsonii), B8 (Brevibacterium frigoritolerans) and A2 (Nocardia nova) bacteria each had three growth-promoting traits. Aluminum tolerance ability analysis indicated that endophyte A1 (Leifsonia shinshuensis) had the strongest aluminum tolerance ability, up to 200 mg l-1 aluminum. Plant-bacteria interactions showed that endophytes A1, A2 and B4 and their synthetic community all had a growth-promoting effect on the growth of wheat lateral roots. Moreover, endophytes A1 and B4 alleviated aluminum stress in wheat. Endophyte A1 also promoted the growth of tea cuttings, especially lateral roots, with/without aluminum. Taken together, aluminum enhanced the distribution of aluminum-tolerant and growth-promoting bacteria, thereby promoting the growth of tea roots. This study provides a new aspect for research on the mechanism by which aluminum promotes tea plant growth.
