Exploration of Klebsiella pneumoniae M6 for paclobutrazol degradation, plant growth attributes, and biocontrol action under subtropical ecosystem.
Article in PloS one, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 recent times, injudicious use of paclobutrazol (PBZ) in mango orchards deteriorates the soil quality and fertility by persistence nature and causes a serious ecosystem imbalance. In this study, a new Klebsiella pneumoniae strain M6 (MW228061) was isolated from mango rhizosphere and characterized as a potent plant growth promoter, biocontrol, and PBZ degrading agent. The strain M6 efficiently utilizes PBZ as carbon, energy and nitrogen source and degrades up to 98.28% (50 mgL-1 initial conc.) of PBZ at 15th day of incubation in MS medium. In the soil system first order degradation kinetics and linear model suggested 4.5 days was the theoretical half-life (t1/2 value) of PBZ with strain M6. Box Behnken design (BBD) model of Response surface methodology (RSM) showed pH 7.0, 31°C temperature, and 2.0 ml inoculum size (8 x 109 CFU mL-1) was optimized condition for maximum PBZ degradation with strain M6. Plant growth promoting attributes such as Zn, K, PO4 solubilization IAA, HCN and NH3 production of strain M6 showed positive results and were assessed quantitatively. The relation between plant growth promotion and PBZ degradation was analyzed by heat map, principal component analysis (PCA) and, clustal correlation analysis (CCA). Strain M6 was also showing a significant biocontrol activity against pathogenic fungi such as Fusarium oxysporum (MTCC-284), Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (MTCC- 2190), Pythium aphanidermatum (MTCC- 1024), Tropical race 1 (TR -1), and Tropical race 4 (TR -4). Hence, results of the study suggested that strain M6 can be utilized as an effective bio-agent to restore degraded land affected by persistent use of paclobutrazol.
