Plant growth-promoting microbes and microalgae-based biostimulants: sustainable strategy for agriculture and abiotic stress resilience.
Review in Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Climate change events significantly impact the food production chain by damaging crops in their most fragile phenological states. Furthermore, increasing human population and excess food waste present agricultural systems with the challenge of closing the yield gap and securing food demands in the future as well as protect the soil health and biodiversity. Biostimulants are a novel alternative in agriculture that can effectively use inputs, enhance crop resilience to abiotic stresses and improve food quality. Additionally, biostimulants offer a promising and eco-friendly solution for reducing the use of chemical fertilizers, as they have the potential to increase crop nutrient use efficiency and yield. Because of their effects on plant growth, a wide range of products can be marketed as biostimulants. Presented in this review is an overview of recent literature on the use of plant growth-promoting microbes and microalgae-derived extracts obtained from either waste streams or recycled substrates. Starting from their source material, extraction technologies and application modalities, a view of their factors shaping the composition and activity of biostimulants is provided to elucidate a mechanistic model of action which leads to increased stress resilience in crops. This work further sets out to understand if the biostimulants can be used to transform waste into a valuable product that can accelerate the transition to sustainable agriculture.This article is part of the theme issue 'Crops under stress: can we mitigate the impacts of climate change on agriculture and launch the 'Resilience Revolution'?'.
