1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Soil salinization poses a great threat to global agricultural ecosystems, and finding ways to improve the soils affected by salt and maintain soil health and sustainable productivity has become a major challenge. Various physical, chemical and biological approaches are being evaluated to address this escalating environmental issue. Among them, fully utilizing salt-tolerant plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) has been labeled as a potential strategy to alleviate salt stress, since they can not only adapt well to saline soil environments but also enhance soil fertility and plant development under saline conditions. In the last few years, an increasing number of salt-tolerant PGPB have been excavated from specific ecological niches, and various mechanisms mediated by such bacterial strains, including but not limited to siderophore production, nitrogen fixation, enhanced nutrient availability, and phytohormone modulation, have been intensively studied to develop microbial inoculants in agriculture. This review outlines the positive impacts and growth-promoting mechanisms of a variety of salt-tolerant PGPB and opens up new avenues to commercialize cultivable microbes and reduce the detrimental impacts of salt stress on plant growth. Furthermore, considering the practical limitations of salt-tolerant PGPB in the implementation and potential integration of advanced biological techniques in salt-tolerant PGPB to enhance their effectiveness in promoting sustainable agriculture under salt stress are also accentuated.
