Competition and co-association, but not phosphorous availability, shape the benefits of phosphate-solubilizing root bacteria for maize (

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
Predicting the conditions under which rhizobacteria benefit plant growth remains challenging. Here we tested the hypothesis that benefits from inoculation with phosphate-solubilizing rhizobacteria will depend upon two environmental conditions: phosphate availability and competition between bacteria. We used maize-associated rhizobacteria with varying phosphate solubilization ability in experiments in soil, sterilized soil and gnotobiotic microcosms under conditions of varying orthophosphate availability, while we manipulated the intensity of competition by varying the number of isolates in plant inocula. Growth promotion by microbes did not depend on phosphate availability but was affected by interactions between inoculants: the beneficial effects of one
