Significance of siderophore-producing cyanobacteria on enhancing iron uptake potentiality of maize plants grown under iron-deficiency.
Article in Microbial cell factories, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIn response to iron deficiency and other environmental stressors, cyanobacteria producing siderophores can help in ameliorating plant stress and enhancing growth physiological and biochemical processes. The objective of this work was to screen the potential of Arthrospira platensis, Pseudanabaena limnetica, Nostoc carneum, and Synechococcus mundulus for siderophore production to select the most promising isolate, then to examine the potentiality of the isolated siderophore in promoting Zea mays seedling growth in an iron-limited environment.
resultsData of the screening experiment illustrated that Synechococcus mundulus significantly recorded the maximum highest siderophore production (78 ± 2%) while the minimum production was recorded by Nostoc carneum (24.67 ± 0.58%). Therefore, Synechococcus mundulus was chosen for the beneficiary study and the intended agricultural application. Siderophore-type identification tests proved that Synechococcus mundulus produced hydroxamate-type. The response surface approach was successful in optimizing the conditions of siderophore production in Synechococcus mundulus with actual values for maximum biomass (387.11 mg L
conclusionsThe results introduced in this study highlighted the significant potential of Synechococcus mundulus-derived siderophore in stimulating Zea mays physicochemical growth parameters and iron uptake. Findings of this study present novel visions of cyanobacteria producing siderophores as an ecofriendly alternative candidate to synthetic iron chelators and their role in plant stress management.
