Rhizobacteria protective hydrogel to promote plant growth and adaption to acidic soil.

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
Endophytic plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) could replace chemical fertilizers in sustainable agriculture. Unfortunately, they are susceptible to harsh environmental conditions. Here, we proposed a polymeric hydrogel (PMH) consisting of carboxymethyl chitosan, sodium alginate, and calcium chloride for loading and protecting endophytic PGPR. This hydrogel can load endophytic PGPRs to not only boost its growth-promoting efficiency, but also help them adapt more effectively to environments. Using endophytic PGPR Ensifer C5 as model bacteria and Brasscia napus as host, we demonstrate that the PMH facilitate the colonization of endophytic PGPRs in the apical and lateral root primordia regions. Further analysis indicates that the PMH modulate suberin deposition of the endodermal cell layers and regulate the accumulation of auxin at the root tip. Meanwhile, PMH enhances the antioxidant capacity and disease resistance properties of plants by increasing the content of arachidonic acid metabolism intermediates in the plant. Importantly, the combination of PMH and endophytic PGPRs increases the yields of B. napus by approximately 30% in the field. Furthermore, PMH attenuates the loss of endophytic PGPR activity in the acidic environments. Overall, this microbial encapsulation strategy is a promising way to protect fragile endophytic microorganisms, providing attractive avenues in sustainable agriculture.
