Biocontrol and plant growth-promoting activities of airborne bacteria.
Article in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 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
The potential of airborne bacteria as a sustainable alternative for agriculture was evaluated. Bacteria were isolated from air samples and evaluated for their plant growth-promoting (PGPB) and antifungal properties as biocontrol of phytopathogens. Results showed that diverse bacterial species, including Exiguobacterium, Rhodococcus, Kocuria, and Staphylococcus genera, exhibited PGPB activities such as phosphorus solubilization, siderophore production, and auxin production. Kocuria strains showed high auxin production. Rhodococcus sp. was observed to significantly promote root growth and the formation of beneficial biofilms on bean roots. Additionally, this bacterium opened the xylem vessels, facilitating the absorption of nutrients and water. Kocuria sp. strains exhibited high antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum and Phytophthora cinnamomi due to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by these strains. Volatile profile revealed compounds such as dimethyl disulfide, pyrazines, and benzaldehyde derivatives associated with fungal growth inhibition. This study demonstrates the potential of airborne bacteria as both biofertilizers (producers of indole-3-acetic acid IAA, potassium, and phosphorus solubilizers, siderophore producers, and ammonium producers) and biocontrol agents (against the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum and Phytophthora cinnamomi).
