The effects of temperature, salt, and phosphate on biofilm and exopolysaccharide production by Azotobacter spp.
Article in Archives of microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Inoculation of agriculturally important biofilms to plants under stress conditions has been of great interest in recent years. Therefore, in this study, biofilm- and exopolysaccharide (EPS)-forming ability of Azotobacter spp. was examined under different temperatures, NaCl concentrations, and phosphate levels. Azotobacter strains formed varying levels of biofilm and EPS depending on the tested factors. The pattern of biofilm formation was similar to that of EPS production under the conditions tested. Biofilm and EPS production at 28 °C was consistently higher than at either 18 or 37 °C. Biofilm production significantly increased in A. chroococcum strains (SBS2, SBS4, and SBS12) and A. vinelandii SBS6 with increasing salinity. Furthermore, a strong negative correlation was observed between biofilm or EPS production and increasing phosphate concentrations. Higher phosphate concentrations decreased biofilm and EPS production. In conclusion, contrary to temperature and phosphate effect, salinity differently affected biofilm and EPS production by Azotobacter strains.
