1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Biotic stress, particularly from fungal diseases, significantly impedes agricultural productivity worldwide. To meet the increasing demand for sustainable food production, environment-friendly and cost-effective solutions are needed. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) provide a sustainable alternative by enhancing plant health and acting as biocontrol agents. This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity and biocontrol potential of biotic stress-tolerant rhizobacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of cotton and wheat plants infected with fungi in a cotton-wheat rotation area. A total of 136 rhizobacteria were isolated and screened for their in-vitro antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum. Among these, 108 isolates demonstrated antifungal activity against F. oxysporum. Additionally, various biocontrol-linked traits were assessed, including hydrogen cyanide (HCN) production, starch hydrolysis, exopolysaccharide (EPS) production, enzyme production (pectinase, protease, gelatinase, catalase) and biofilm formation. The results showed that 88 isolates exhibited pectinase activity, 105 showed biofilm formation and EPS production, 20 demonstrated protease production, 93 showed starch hydrolysis activity. Only three isolates produced hydrogen cyanide. Gelatinase activity was observed in 124 isolates, while catalase activity was detected in 87 isolates. Genetic diversity analysis of the tolerant rhizobacteria was performed using REP, ERIC, and (GTG)
