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

Vermicompost (VC) harbours diverse microbes, including plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM) that are beneficial for sustainable crop production. Hence, this study aimed to analyse bacterial diversity of VC samples as a first high-throughput screening step towards subsequent targeted isolation of potential bacterial inoculum candidates. To achieve this, bacterial communities in VC collected from five production farms were enriched in nutrient-rich media before high-throughput sequence (HTS) analysis of the partial 16S rRNA gene. HTS analysis revealed 572 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) in all enriched VC samples. Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Planctomycetes and Bacteroidetes were the most dominant phyla, while Lysinibacillus, Escherichia-Shigella, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Clostridium sensu stricto 1, Morganella, Vibrio and Aeromonas were the predominant genera across the enriched VC. The presence of Clostridium sensu stricto 1, Escherichia-Shigella and Vibrio genera, which are potentially pathogenic species, suggests the need to improve vermicomposting efficiency and safety. Predicted functional profiling of the bacterial communities using PICRUSt2 showed abundance profiles of nitrogenases, phosphatases and sulfatases. In addition, the potential to produce siderophore, indole acetic acids (IAA) and phytohormone regulator 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) were predicted. Lysinibacillus, Bacillus, Paenibacillus and Pseudomonas were major bacterial communities with potential plant growth-promoting traits and could serve as resources in bacterial inoculum production. The findings in this study provide insight into the community composition, abundance and the potential functional capability of cultivable bacterial species of enriched VC. This study also points to VC as a suitable source of potentially beneficial bacterial candidates for inoculum production.
