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

Salinity stress is a major constraint on global crop productivity, necessitating sustainable strategies to enhance plant resilience. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity have emerged as promising candidates for mitigating salt stress in crops. The present study evaluated the potential of PGPR isolates in improving salinity tolerance of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.). Growth performance, chlorophyll content, and antioxidant enzyme activities-superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and catalase (CAT)-were assessed under salinity stress conditions. PGPR inoculation significantly enhanced growth attributes, increased chlorophyll content, and improved antioxidant enzyme activity in stressed okra plants compared to uninoculated controls. Among the tested isolates, Caballeronia sp. AS11 showed the most pronounced improvement in plant growth and oxidative stress mitigation. These findings highlight the potential of ACC deaminase-producing PGPR, particularly Caballeronia sp. AS11, as bioinoculants for enhancing salinity tolerance in okra. The application of such beneficial microbes offers a sustainable approach to improve crop productivity in saline-prone environments.
