Halotolerant Citrobacter sp. remediates salinity stress and promotes the growth of Vigna radiata (L) by secreting extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and biofilm formation: a novel active cell for microbial desalination cell (MDC).
Article in International microbiology : the official journal of the Spanish Society for Microbiology, 2024. 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
To address soil salinization and its impact on crop production, microbial desalination cells (MDCs) offer a promising solution. These bioelectrochemical systems integrate desalination and wastewater treatment through microbial activity. A halotolerant beneficial bacterial strain called Citrobacter sp. strain KUT (CKUT) was isolated from India's salt desert Run of Kutch, Gujrat, highlighting its potential application in combating soil salinization. CKUT exhibits high salt tolerance and has the ability to produce extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) at a concentration of 0.04 mg/ml. It forms biofilm that enable it to withstand up to 10% NaCl concentration. Additionally, CKUT shows promise in remediating salinity levels, reducing it from 4.5 to 2.7 gL
