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

backgroundThe use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and the farming without crop rotation may negatively impact the microbial community and the quality of the soils in ginger farm. It is important to improve soil properties to promote the healthy growth of ginger in ginger farm.

resultsWe isolated and identified the pathogenic Fusarium ramigenum from infected ginger roots. We then isolated a new Bacillus paralicheniformis strain SYN-191 from the rhizosphere soil around healthy ginger roots, and showed B. paralicheniformis SYN-91 could inhibit F. ramigenum growth, degrade proteins, dissolve silicate, and decompose cellulose. SYN-191 treatment significantly improved the agronomic traits of ginger seedlings in healthy soil and continuous cropping soil. Furthermore, SYN-191 treatment restructured the microbial microbiomes in rhizosphere soil, including reducing the number of harmful fungi, such as Fusarium, and increasing the beneficial bacterial populations such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas. Field experiments showed that SYN-191 application increased ginger yield by 26.47% (P < 0.01). Whole-genome sequencing of strain SYN-191 revealed the relevant genes for antibiotic synthesis, potassium dissolution, and cellulose decomposition.

conclusionsA new plant-growth-promoting B. paralicheniformis SYN-191 was obtained. This strain could antagonize ginger root rot pathogenic fungus, improve agronomic traits and ginger yield in field, and improve the microbial community structure in the ginger rhizosphere soil. This study provides a valuable bacterial resource for overcoming obstacles in the continuous cropping of ginger.
