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
Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), a medicinal plant and edible vegetable from the Lamiaceae family, holds significant therapeutic and culinary value. Endophytic bacterial inoculation is an effective strategy for enhancing the essential oil content and metabolic profile of medicinal plants. This study isolated and molecularly identified two endophytic bacteria, and evaluated their effects on the physiological, biochemical, and essential oil traits of basil using a completely randomized design. The bacterial isolates were identified as Microbacterium foliorum Emf1 and Paenibacillus peoriae ER11. Both isolates significantly improved key growth traits, with M. foliorum Emf1 showing the most substantial impact across various indicators. Notable increases compared to the control included root volume (106.79%), root surface area (60.66%), root fresh (71.81%) and dry weight (77.77%), shoot fresh (81.73%) and dry weight (81.48%), leaf fresh (84.54%) and dry weight (83.59%), membrane stability (400.85%), carotenoid content (200.00%), anthocyanin levels (61.90%), essential oil content (101.43%), total phenol (20.46%), and antioxidant activity (56.6%). This research provides novel insights by demonstrating the beneficial effects of these two endophytic bacterial isolates in enhancing basil's growth performance, biochemical properties and essential oil content.
