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

Trichoderma spp. is primarily applied to manage biotic stresses in plants. Still, they also can mitigate abiotic stresses by the stimulation of antioxidative protective mechanisms and enhanced synthesis of secondary metabolites. The study optimized the conditions to enhance peptaibol production by novel Trichoderma spp, characterized and quantified peptaibol- alamethicin using HPLC and LC MS-MS. The present study investigated these isolates efficacy in enhancing growth and the associated physio-biochemical changes in black pepper plants under moisture stress. Under in vitro conditions, out of 51 isolates studied, six isolates viz., T. asperellum (IISR NAIMCC 0049), T. erinaceum (IISR APT1), T. harzianum (IISR APT2), T. harzianum (IISR KL3), T. lixii (IISR KA15) and T. asperellum (IISR TN3) showed tolerance to low moisture levels (5, 10 and 20%) and higher temperatures (35 and 40 °C). In vivo evaluation on black pepper plants maintained under four different moisture levels (Field capacity [FC]; 75%, 50%, and 25%) showed that the plants inoculated with Trichoderma accumulated greater quantities of secondary metabolites viz., proline, phenols, MDA and soluble proteins at low moisture levels (50% and 25% FC). In the present study, plants inoculated with T. asperellum and T. harzianum showed significantly increased growth compared to uninoculated plants. The shortlisted Trichoderma isolates exhibited differences in peptaibol production and indicated that the peptide might be the key factor for their efficiency as biocontrol agents. The present study also demonstrated that Trichoderma isolates T. harzianum and T. asperellum (IISR APT2 & NAIMCC 0049) enhanced the drought-tolerant capabilities of black pepper by improving plant growth and secondary metabolite production.
