Transformative strategies for saline soil restoration: Harnessing halotolerant microorganisms and advanced technologies.
Review 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 4 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
Soil salinity is a critical global challenge that severely impairs crop productivity and soil health by disrupting water uptake, nutrient acquisition, and ionic balance in plants, thereby posing a significant threat to food security. This review underscores innovative strategies to mitigate salinity stress, focusing on the pivotal role of halotolerant microorganisms and their synergistic interactions with plants. Halotolerant microorganisms enhance plant resilience through diverse mechanisms under salinity, including exopolysaccharide production, sodium sequestration, and phytohormone regulation. It improves ionic balance, nutrient uptake, and root development, facilitated by osmoregulatory and genetic adaptations. In this discussion, we explored emerging technologies, including genome editing (e.g., CRISPR-Cas9), synthetic biology, and advanced omics-based tools such as metagenomics and metatranscriptomics. These cutting-edge approaches offer profound insights into microbial diversity and their functional adaptations to saline environments. By leveraging these technologies, it is possible to design targeted bioremediation strategies through the customization of microbial functionalities to address specific environmental challenges effectively. Advanced methodologies, such as microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs), nanotechnology, and stress-tolerant microbial consortia, significantly enhance plant stress tolerance and facilitate soil restoration. Moreover, integrating digital technologies, including machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), optimizes bioremediation processes by providing precise, scalable, and adaptable solutions tailored to diverse agricultural ecosystems. The synergistic application of halotolerant microbe-mediated approaches with advanced biotechnological and digital innovations presents a transformative strategy for saline soil restoration. Future research should focus on harmonizing these technologies and methodologies to maximize plant-microbe interactions and establish resilient, sustainable agricultural systems.
