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

Various strategies have been developed to control lettuce diseases on farms and in food-packing plants. Biological control is considered a promising alternative owing to its eco-friendly nature. In the present study, bacteria isolated from coastal mudflats were evaluated for their efficacy in controlling Sclerotinia rot, and the plant growth-promoting activity in lettuce was also assessed. Among the screened microorganisms from the coastal mudflats, 12 bacterial strains exhibited antifungal activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum selected. These isolates have shown beneficial characteristics, such as nitrogen fixation, indole-3-acetic acid production, phosphate solubilization, and siderophore production. Additionally, the selected isolates showed antifungal effects on the pathogens of major plant disease, such as Alternaria porri, Colletotrichum acutatum, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora capsici, Pythium ultimum, Rhizoctonia solani, and Stemphylium lycopersici. Among the selected bacterial strains, Bacillus subtilis GCM190 exhibited a high sclerotinia rot control rate, similar to that of the tebuconazole-treated group, and showed a significant effect in promoting the growth of lettuce leaves, stems, and roots (least significant difference, P = 0.05). The selection of rifampicin-resistant mutants and their tracing on lettuce roots and soil confirmed that they were well established in both the soil and lettuce roots. The selected microorganisms also exhibited antifungal effects in vitro against other crop diseases affecting cucumbers, tomatoes, red peppers, and green onions, suggesting high potential for practical applications.
