Article in Pest management science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundBacillus species suppress fungal pathogens by producing antimicrobial peptides. However, there is limited evidence of comparative effects of seed biopriming and soil drenching with Bacillus on pathogen suppression.
resultsAmong six Bacillus species, B. altitudinis TM22 exhibited the highest in vitro inhibition of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (FOV) associated with Fusarium wilt of cotton. Lipopeptides (LPs) and polyketides (PKs) were extracted from the two most inhibitory strains: B. altitudinis TM22 and B. atrophaeus MCM61, where LPs from TM22 showed higher in vitro inhibition of FOV. Liquid chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOF/MS) analysis detected iturin, fengycin, surfactin, bacillibactin, bacillomycin, bacilysin and bacillaene in TM22, whereas iturin was deficient in MCM61. TM22 produced larger amounts of hydrogen cyanide, correlating with its higher antagonistic potential. In a glasshouse experiment, TM22 and MCM61 applied via seed biopriming showed the lowest disease incidence and severity and improved plant biomass compared to soil drenching. Co-application of TM22 and MCM61 improved chlorophyll a, b, carotenoids, photosynthesis rate, RWC, and stomatal conductance. Additionally, malondialdehyde, electrolyte leakage and hydrogen peroxide levels were lower in plants treated with TM22 + MCM61 + FOV. Moreover, the activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), β-1,3-glucanase (GLU), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and chitinase (CHI) enzymes was the highest in TM22 + MCM61 + FOV-treated plants. The expression of HMGR, MPK3, GST, PAL, SOD, PPO, APX, POD and CAT genes was the highest in plants subjected to co-application of TM22 and MCM61 against FOV.
conclusionOur study highlights the potential of Bacillus strains TM22 and MCM61 applied via seed biopriming and soil drenching in suppressing Fusarium wilt and enhancing biomass of cotton plants. © 2025 The Author(s).
