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

Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) solubilize phosphorus through secretion of low molecular weight organic acids. This P solubilization is dependent on culture as well as environmental growth conditions. In the present study, five bacteria (Enterobacter cloacae BHUAS1, Bacillus cereus BHUAS2, Bacillus megaterium IESDBHUAS3, Bacillus megaterium IESDBHUAS4, and Bacillus megaterium IESDBHUAS5) were tested to solubilize inorganic P under variable culture conditions comprising different levels of salinity, pH, different sources of inorganic P, variable incubation temperatures and varying initial inoculum sizes under in vitro conditions. The bacterial strains were also checked for simultaneous production of Indole 3- acetic acid (IAA) and P solubilization to test for expression of multifarious beneficial traits under similar conditions. The results revealed that in different sources of insoluble inorganic P, calcium P was preferred source by all the bacterial strains where maximum phosphate solubilization efficiency (PSE) was observed. An exposure of 250 mM salinity was observed to increase PSE for Enterobacter cloacae BHUAS1 and Bacillus cereus BHUAS2 while it lowered the PSE of other isolates. A growth temperature of 30 °C was found suitable for all the isolates to express their highest PSE. In case of pH, Enterobacter cloacae BHUAS1 performed best at pH 7, Bacillus cereus BHUAS2 favoured pH 8, while Bacillus megaterium IESDBHUAS3, Bacillus megaterium IESDBHUAS4, and Bacillus megaterium IESDBHUAS5 preferred pH 9 for expression of their highest PSE. Considering inoculum size a cell density of 3 × 10
