Enhancements in morphology, biochemicals, nutrients, and L-Dopa in Faba bean through plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal Fungi.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Faba beans are among the main food sources grown since ancient times; seeds contain higher protein (23-41%) than other legumes and are rich in healthy secondary bioactive components. This study was carried out to determine the effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the biofortification potential of faba beans. The study utilized Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, and an AMF mix to examine changes in growth parameters, chlorophyll content, bioactive compounds, and mineral nutrients. AMF and PGPR treatments significantly enhanced various traits in faba bean pods compared to untreated control plants. Bacillus subtilis treatment increased the antioxidant capacity by 128% and the total phenol content by 230%. AMF inoculation elevated the L-Dopa content, an essential compound for Parkinson's disease prevention, by 92%. Protein content increased by 51% with Bacillus megaterium inoculations. The macro and micronutrients exhibited the highest enhancement in AMF treatment (Ca; 33.6%, K; 49.4%, Mg; 22.7%, P; 10.5%, Fe; 37.7%, Zn; 24.5%). The study results suggest that AMF and PGPR inoculation to faba bean seeds improves the morphological characteristics, bioactive compounds, and mineral nutrient content and is an excellent tool for obtaining biofortified faba beans through sustainable practice.
