Rhizobium biostimulation of blackberry modulates survival pathways in Caenorhabditis elegans across biological kingdoms.

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
Endophytic Rhizobium species represent promising bioinoculants for enhancing crop performance and nutritional profiles. This study investigated the impact of Rhizobium sp. CRRU65 inoculation on blackberry (Rubus sp.) plants, with emphasis on fruit phytochemical composition and cross-kingdom bioactivity. Inoculated plants exhibited a significant increase in yield and elevated levels of phenolic compounds, notably sanguiin H6 and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, as quantified by HPLC-DAD-MS. Antioxidant functionality was evaluated using Caenorhabditis elegans under oxidative stress. Extracts from inoculated fruits significantly improved nematode survival, accompanied by transcriptional upregulation of skn-1 and hsp-16, genes involved in stress response and proteostasis. These findings demonstrate that Rhizobium sp. CRRU65 enhances not only agronomic traits but also the nutraceutical quality of blackberry fruits, with beneficial effects extending across biological kingdoms. This work underscores the potential of endophytic bacteria to contribute to sustainable agriculture and functional food innovation through molecular and physiological modulation in both plants and animal models.
