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 use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture, while effective for plant nutrition, poses environmental pollution risks due to their overuse and imbalance. Sustainable agricultural solutions are required to reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers. Biofertilizers, which harness the potential of beneficial soil microorganisms, are a promising alternative. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial soil bacteria for the preparing of biofertilizers, as they enhance plant growth through various mechanisms, such as nitrogen fixation, hormone production, and nutrient solubilization. Although significant results have been achieved in laboratory and greenhouse experiments, field studies are relatively limited. In the last three decades, research has been conducted on PGPR in Iran but The Soil and Water Research Institute (SWRI) has been a focal point for concentrated and continuous research on PGPR biofertilizers, resulting in the development of various biofertilizers containing
