Molecular Communication of Microbial Plant Biostimulants in the Rhizosphere Under Abiotic Stress Conditions.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Microbial plant biostimulants offer a promising, sustainable solution for enhancing plant growth and resilience, particularly under abiotic stress conditions such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and heavy metal toxicity. These biostimulants, including plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, mycorrhizal fungi, and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, enhance plant tolerance through mechanisms such as phytohormone production, nutrient solubilization, osmotic adjustment, and antioxidant enzyme activation. Advances in genomics, metagenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics have significantly expanded our understanding of plant-microbe molecular communication in the rhizosphere, revealing mechanisms underlying these interactions that promote stress resilience. However, challenges such as inconsistent field performance, knowledge gaps in stress-related molecular signaling, and regulatory hurdles continue to limit broader biostimulant adoption. Despite these challenges, microbial biostimulants hold significant potential for advancing agricultural sustainability, particularly amid climate change-induced stresses. Future studies and innovation, including Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and other molecular editing tools, should optimize biostimulant formulations and their application for diverse agro-ecological systems. This review aims to underscore current advances, challenges, and future directions in the field, advocating for a multidisciplinary approach to fully harness the potential of biostimulants in modern agriculture.
