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
Efficient screening method is the prerequisite for getting plant growth-promoting (PGP) rhizobacteria (PGPR) which may play an important role in sustainable agriculture from the natural environment. Many current traditional preliminary screening criteria based on knowledge of PGP mechanisms do not always work well due to complex plant-microbe interactions and may lead to the low screening efficiency. More new screening criteria should be evaluated to establish a more effective screening system. However, the studies focused on this issue were not enough, and few new screening criteria had been proposed. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between the metabolic phenotypes of rhizobacterial isolates and their PGP ability. The feasibility of using these phenotypes as preliminary screening criteria for PGPR was also evaluated. Twenty-one rhizobacterial isolates were screened for their PGP ability, traditional PGP traits, and multiple metabolic phenotypes that are not directly related to PGP mechanisms, but are possibly related to rhizosphere colonization. Correlations between the PGP traits or metabolic phenotypes and increases in plant agronomic parameters were analyzed to find the indicators that are most closely related to PGP ability. The utilization of 11 nutrient substrates commonly found in root exudates, such as D-salicin, β-methyl-D-glucoside, and D-cellobiose, was significantly positively correlated with the PGP ability of the rhizobacterial isolates. The utilization of one amino acid and two organic acids, namely L-aspartic acid, α-keto-glutaric acid, and formic acid, was negatively correlated with PGP ability. There were no significant correlations between four PGP traits tested in this study and the PGP ability. The ability of rhizobacterial isolates to metabolize nutrient substrates that are identical or similar to root exudate components may act as better criteria than PGP traits for the primary screening of PGPR, because rhizosphere colonization is a prerequisite for PGPR to affect plants.
