Biocontrol efficacy of formulated probiotic bacteria against Meloidogyne incognita in Kiwifruit under greenhouse and field conditions.
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 3 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
Commercial biocontrol of plant diseases such as plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) requires formulations that are effective under field conditions. Sustainable and safe management of root-knot nematodes (RKNs) remains a significant challenge. Probiotic bacteria represent a safe and environmentally friendly alternative for controlling PPNs in agriculture. This study evaluated the efficacy of formulated probiotic bacteria (Pseudomonas chlororaphis RO1, Bacillus subtilis RO8, and Bacillus velezensis RO9) as biological control agents in managing RKNs, Meloidogyne incognita in kiwifruit under both greenhouse and field conditions. In laboratory assays, B. velezensis RO9 exhibited the highest efficacy, achieving a 52.2% increase in second-stage juvenile nematodes (J2s) mortality compared to the control. The probiotic bacteria strains (RO1, RO8, and RO9) were formulated in two types: a humic acid-based liquid formulation and a microencapsulated form with slow-release capability. Greenhouse experiments revealed that the liquid formulation had the greatest effect on reducing the pathogenic indices of M. incognita. Specifically, RO1 and RO9 strains in humic acid-based liquid formulations were more effective than other treatments after two applications. Consequently, these two effective isolates (RO1 and RO9, liquid formulations) were selected for evaluation under field conditions. Field trials demonstrated that, following the chemical nematicide Cadusafos (Rugby
