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

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and volatile metabolites emitted by microorganisms is of major significance in enhancing plant growth and controlling harmful microorganisms; however, our understanding of these factors remain limited. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to collect new fungal strains from orchard rhizosphere soil and determine the role of VOCs emitted by these strains. We conducted a two-compartment plate assay in a controlled environment to assess the potential of the fungal strains to stimulate plant growth by emitting VOCs. We observed that different fungal strains released various VOCs and demonstrated their ability to promote plant growth by releasing VOCs in the shared atmosphere. Exposure to VOCs emitted by Mortierella spp. and Curvularia spp., significantly enhanced lettuce growth in the presence of CO2 granules, compared to the control group, which lacked fungal isolates. Spectrometric analysis showed that Mortierella spp. and Curvularia spp. released 33 VOCs, including N-nonadecanol, 2-pentene 2,3-dimethyl, decane, nonane, phenylethyl alcohol, 3-penten-2-one, 4-methyl, and butanoic acid. The fungal strains isolated from the orchard rhizosphere soil produced multiple VOCs, and their emissions positively influenced lettuce plant growth.
