Scrutinizing harsh habitats endophytic fungi and their prospective effect on water-stressed maize seedlings.

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
Drought constitutes a significant abiotic stressor that hinders plant growth and productivity in many countries. Habitat-adapted endophytic fungi offer an environmentally sustainable approach to address this issue by promoting plant development and enhancing resilience against abiotic stresses. In this study, 30 endophytic fungal isolates were recovered from some wild plants in the extreme habitats of Port Said Governorate, Egypt, and evaluated for their drought tolerance using polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000). Only eight isolates demonstrated drought tolerance properties and were further evaluated for their plant growth-promoting biochemical activities and ability to improve maize germination under simulated drought conditions. All eight isolates exhibited enzyme activity for endo-1,4-β-glucanase, amylase, and pectinase, and most displayed significant nutrient mobilization, with siderophores production ranging from 4 to 89%, ammonia production from 1 to 7 μmol/ml, and phosphate solubilization from 129 to 256 µg/ml. Additionally, all isolates showed strong antioxidant activity and high total phenolic content, with some also producing notable levels of indole acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA
