Role of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) in enhancing phenolic compounds biosynthesis and its relevance to abiotic stress tolerance in plants: a review.
Review in Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Biofortification of plants using Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) represents a promising strategy in sustainable agriculture. This paper discusses the PGPB action in the context of their impact on phenolic compounds biosynthesis and the prospects for their application in agriculture. So far, no review article has summarized the significance of PGPB in increasing phenolic compounds in plants. PGPB, such as Pseudomonas, Bacillus, and Azospirillum, promote plant growth by producing phytohormones, enhancing nutrient availability, and stimulating the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites through the activation of Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR). The activation of ISR (Induced Systemic Resistance) by PGPB stimulates the phenylpropanoid pathway, which is the primary biosynthetic route for polyphenolic compounds, including phenolic acids and flavonoids, in plants. Studies indicate that PGPB may increase phenolic compounds content from 9% to over 200%, while simultaneously improving antioxidant activity. Through the secretion of phenolic compounds, PGPB also can mitigate abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity and heavy metal contamination. Among the phenolic compounds whose production in various plant parts can be stimulated by PGPB are flavonoids, such as quercetin, procyanidin B1, EGCG, and catechin, and phenolic acids, including caffeic acid, ferulic acid, and chlorogenic acid. Advancements in omics research will enable a more precise investigation of the impact of PGPB, including endophytic bacteria, on the biosynthetic pathways of phenolic compounds. In the future, this will translate into improved efficiency in stimulating the production of these compounds. Nevertheless, even now, the use of PGPB offers a sustainable alternative to genetic engineering, reducing reliance on chemical inputs in agriculture.
