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

Onion white rot, caused by Stromatinia cepivora, is a major soil-borne fungal disease that severely affects onion production. This study introduces a novel endophytic bacterium, Achromobacter xylosoxidans AX77 16S, isolated from healthy onion seeds, as a potential biocontrol agent and growth promoter. Out of 78 bacterial isolates screened, AX77 16S showed the strongest antifungal activity, inhibiting pathogen growth by 50% in dual culture assays. Its application significantly enhanced seed germination (up to 82%) and improved shoot and root development, increasing vigor indices by over 100% compared to untreated controls. The strain was identified by biochemical and molecular techniques and registered in GenBank (ON679518). GC-MS analysis revealed ten bioactive compounds in the bacterial filtrate, while scanning electron microscopy confirmed its damaging effects on fungal structures. Additionally, AX77 16S was formulated into a granular product that remained viable for up to one year. This study presents a promising, sustainable, and cost-effective alternative to chemical fungicides for managing onion white rot and promoting crop growth.
