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

The saline rhizosphere of arid regions harbors diverse microbial communities that play a crucial role in plant growth and abiotic stress mitigation. Salinity is a major constraint for crop productivity, particularly affecting salt-sensitive crops like mung bean (Vigna radiata L.). In this study, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) such as Streptomyces sp. KhEc 44, Bacillus paralicheniformis KhEc 68, and Priestia filamentosa KhEc 69 were isolated from the rhizospheric soil of Euphorbia caducifolia L. growing in the saline-alkaline soils of Kharaghoda, Little Rann of Kutch, Gujarat (India). These strains were evaluated for key PGPR traits including indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) synthesis, siderophore production, and phosphate solubilization. These isolates exhibited growth at 2 M NaCl (w/v), pH 10, and 60 °C, confirming their halo-, alkali-, and thermo-tolerant nature. Additionally, the strains demonstrated extracellular amylase production up to 17% NaCl (w/v). Greenhouse experiments showed that inoculation with these stress-tolerant PGPR significantly enhanced mung bean growth parameters even under 120 mM NaCl stress. Plants treated with the formulated liquid biofertilizer exhibited improved growth, biomass, and tolerance compared to untreated controls. This study demonstrates the potential of using a liquid biofertilizer composed of multi-stress-tolerant PGPR to improve mung bean productivity under both normal and saline-alkaline field conditions.
