Meta-analysis of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria interaction with host plants: implications for drought stress response gene expression.

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
Introduction: The molecular and physiological mechanisms activated in plants during drought stress tolerance are regulated by several key genes with both metabolic and regulatory roles. Studies focusing on crop gene expression following plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) inoculation may help understand which bioinoculant is closely related to the induction of abiotic stress responses. Methods: Here, we performed a meta-analysis following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to summarise information regarding plant-PGPR interactions, focusing on the regulation of nine genes involved in plant drought stress response. The literature research yielded 3,338 reports, of which only 41 were included in the meta-analysis based on the chosen inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis was performed on four genes (ACO, APX, ACS and Results: Forest plots obtained through each meta-analysis showed that the overexpression of ACO, APX, ACS and Discussion: This study argues that the presence of PGPR may not significantly influence the expression of drought stress response-related crop genes. This finding may be due to high heterogeneity, lack of data on the genes examined, and significant publication bias.
