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

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines) is the most yield-limiting pathogen in soybeans worldwide. Using chemical pesticides to control this disease is harmful to human and environment. It is urgent to develop environment-friendly nematicides. The aim of this study was to discover novel biocontrol agents on H. glycines control and soybean growth under greenhouse and field conditions Eight Bacillus strains were isolated from soil rhizosphere soils and the stability and efficiency of H. glycines was assessed in greenhouse and field experiments in 2021 and 2022. In particular, the Ba2-6 strain had the highest potential, because it was a biocontrol agent against H. glycines shown to cause 93.85% juvenile mortality. Furthermore, strains Ba 1-7, Ba2-4, and Ba2-6 effectively reduced the number of females and improved the soybean seed number per plant. Based on their morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular (16 S rRNA) characteristics, the three strains were identified as B. aryabhattai (Ba1-7), B. megatherium (Ba2-4), and B. halotolerans (Ba2-6). The ability of Ba2-6 to induce systemic resistance to H. glycines in soybeans was investigated by the split-root system and real-time quantitative PCR experiments. The results indicated that the Ba2-6 strain induced systemic resistance to suppress the penetration of H. glycines, and enhanced gene expression of PR1, PR3a, PR5, and NPR1-2, involved in the salicylic acid and jasmonic acid pathways. The study suggests that the strains of B. aryabhattai Ba1-7, B. megatherium Ba2-4, and B. halotolerans Ba2-6 can be considered as effective biocontrol agents to control H. glycines. Further, B. halotolerans Ba2-6 not only promotes soybean growth but also enhances resistance to H. glycines by regulating defense-related gene expression and inducing systemic resistance in soybean.
