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

This study aimed at isolation of native plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) associated with organic tea plantations. Most research on tea and associated microbes have been on Darjeeling and Assam, known for their world-class tea. However, emerging tea plantations in remote Northeast India are gaining prominence due to their unique geographical location, favorable climate, and organic practices. This study investigated PGBP associated with these organic tea plantations, aimed to assess their potential cross-infectivity on non-host plants. A total of 58 PGP bacterial isolates were isolated from four organic tea plantations. Six potential isolates were further evaluated individually and as consortium for their PGP on rice and maize. Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Serratia spp. as individual and in consortium were found to have potent cross-infectivity with significant growth promotion in non-host plants indicated by plant height, root length, shoot, and root weight. The present findings suggest that PGPB native to organic tea plantations have potential cross-infectivity for use as a biofertilizers to improve the growth and productivity of non-host crops. This provides prospectives of using native bacteria on non-host plants paving the way for their potential application in sustainable agriculture practices for growth promotion of staple food crops.
