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
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are promising candidates that enhance plant growth under stressful conditions. In this study, 10 bacterial isolates were screened for their IAA production, among them JTB1 and MT22 isolates were selected which produced high IAA levels under 10% PEG and 2% NaCl stress. The isolates showed a high capacity for phosphate solubilization and ACC deaminase activity. Phytogenic analysis showed that the isolate belonged to Bacillus megaterium species JTB1 and MT22. Application of JTB1, MT22, and their consortia as PGPR significantly promoted root development and sugarcane growth under moderate and severe drought stress. Sugarcane growth promotion resulted from the retardation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) synthesis, malondialdehyde (MDA), electrolyte leakage, and cell damage by increasing antioxidant scavenging systems, such as catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), owing to PGPR inoculation under drought stress. Inoculation with PGPR resulted in increased auxin transporter expression, which modulated the increase in photosynthetic gene expression of RBC-L, PEPC, SPS in sugarcane under drought stress. The application of JTB1, MT22, or their consortia seemed to have similar effects on all observed parameters. Collectively, these results indicated that inoculation with PGPR enhanced root development and increased the antioxidant system and photosynthetic activity, which promoted sugarcane growth under drought stress.
