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

Medicinal plants often harbour various endophytic actinomycetia, which are well known for their potent antimicrobial properties and plant growth-promoting traits. In this study, we isolated an endophytic actinomycetia, A13, from the leaves of tea clone P312 from the MEG Tea Estate, Meghalaya, India. The isolate A13 was identified as Streptomyces sp. A13 through whole genome sequencing (WGS) and 16S rRNA sequencing, showing 88% (ANI; Average Nucleotide Identity) and 99.78% sequence similarity with Streptomyces olivaceus. The strain A13 exhibited a prominent broad-spectrum antifungal activity against nine phytopathogens. It was observed that the ethyl acetate (EtAc) extract of A13 inhibits the spore germination rate of phytopathogen Nigrospora sphaerica (NSP) and also damages the fungal cell wall and cell structure. Additionally, the A13 strain exhibits several plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits, such as nitrogen fixation, ammonia production (4.7 µmol/ml), indole-acetic acid (IAA) production (8.91 µg/ml), siderophore production and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed that Phenol, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl) was found to be the major chemical constituent in the EtAc extract of the A13 strain, accounting for 50.15% of the area percentage. Whole genome sequencing and subsequent genome analysis utilizing bioinformatics techniques such as Antibiotics & Secondary Metabolite Analysis SHell (antiSMASH) and Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology (RAST) revealed a wide array of biologically active secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters (smBGCs) with different physiologically significant roles. These findings emphasize the potential of the A13 strain as a biocontrol agent with the capability to enhance plant growth and prevent diseases.
