Diversity of Bacterial Endophytes of Maize (Zea mays) and Their Functional Potential for Micronutrient Biofortification.
Article in Current microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Microorganisms due, to their immense metabolic diversity, have the potential to augment the uptake of iron and zinc in addition to other important nutrients in plants. In the present work, 129 different strains of endophytic bacteria were retrieved from stems and leaves of maize. Qualitative screening of these endophytes showed that 24.5% of these isolates were siderophore producers, while 14% could solubilize insoluble zinc compounds and 33% of them had phytase activity. Based on zinc solubilization efficiency and siderophore production ability, 10 isolates each from zinc solubilizers and siderophore producers were selected. Molecular identification indicated that the selected bacteria belonged to diverse genera Microbacterium, Pseudonocardia, Bacillus, Cellulosimicrobium, Staphylococcus, Luteimonas, Bordetella, Brevundimonas, Streptomyces, Cupriavidus, Sphingomonas, Ralstonia, Ochrobactrum, Conyzicola, Paenibacillus and Leifsonia. Quantitative analyses of Zn solubilization using Atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) revealed that Microbacterium hydrothermale M10 and M. proteolyticum B2 were potential solubilizers of different forms of insoluble zinc compounds viz. ZnCO
