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

Soil salinization is a critical constraint on global rice production, posing a serious threat to food security and underscoring the urgent need for sustainable strategies to fortify plant stress resilience. In this context, this study demonstrates that SB24, a halotolerant PGPR isolated from saline rice fields, markedly improved the salinity tolerance of rice genotype Pusa 44 through coordinated physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses. This strain, identified by 16S rDNA sequencing, exhibited high salt tolerance (up to 16% NaCl) and possessed multiple plant growth-promoting traits. Under 125 mM NaCl stress, SB24 inoculation enhanced germination and growth, with significant increases in shoot and root biomass compared to uninoculated controls. SB24-treated plants showed elevated photosynthetic pigments (Chl a, Chl b, carotenoids), soluble sugars, and soluble proteins, alongside enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, APX, PPO) significantly. These changes were accompanied by reductions in oxidative stress markers, including electrolyte leakage, H₂O₂ accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and lipoxygenase activity. SB24 also promoted osmolyte accumulation (proline, glycine betaine and maintained ion homeostasis by reducing Na⁺ uptake while increasing K⁺ and Ca
