Multifaceted plant growth-promoting traits of indigenous rhizospheric microbes against Phomopsis theae, a causal agent of stem canker in tea plants.

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
Phomopsis canker is one of the major devastating stem diseases that occur in tea plants caused by the fungal pathogen Phomopsis theae. Rapid development of this disease leads to a capital loss in the tea industry which demands an ecofriendly disease management strategy to control this aggressive pathogen. A total of 245 isolates were recovered from the tea rhizosphere and screened for in vitro plant growth promoting (PGP) traits and antagonism against P. theae. Among them, twelve isolates exhibited multifarious PGP traits including phytohormones, siderophore, hydrogen cyanide, salicylic acid production, phosphate solubilization, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activity, and antifungal activity. In vitro studies on morphological, biochemical, and phylogenetic analyses classified the selected isolates as Pseudomonas fluorescens (VPF5), Bacillus subtilis (VBS3), Streptomyces griseus (VSG4) and Trichoderma viride (VTV7). Specifically, P. fluorescens VPF5 and B. subtilis VBS3 strains showed the highest level of PGP activities. On the other hand, VBS3 and VTV7 strains showed higher biocontrol efficacy in inhibiting mycelia growth and spore germination of P. theae. A detailed investigation on hydrolytic enzymes produced by antagonistic strains, which degrade the fungus cell wall, revealed that highest amount of chitinase and β-1,3- glucanase in VTV7 and VBS3 strains. Further, the key antifungal secondary metabolites from these biocontrol agents associated with suppression of P. theae were identified using gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The above study clearly recognized the specific traits in the isolated microbes, which make them good candidates as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and biocontrol agents to improve plant growth and health. However, greenhouse trials and field application of these beneficial microbes is required to further confirm their efficacy for the management of stem canker in tea cultivation.
