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

Using efficient rhizospheric microbes as bio-inoculants is a key factor in promoting agricultural sustainability, as these microbes have been shown to enhance plant growth promotion and crop productivity. Soil microbial communities offer numerous benefits to crops, including improved nutrient uptake efficiency, phytohormone production, improved soil structure, nutrient balance, enhanced plant and soil health, protection against soil borne phyto-pathogens and increased plant resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses. These characteristics of rhizospheric microbes have attracted researcher's attention, as using these microbes individually or in consortia has enhanced soil fertility as well as soil heatlh in a eco-friendly manner. Further, the utilization of multi-omics techniques for exploring the hidden potential of beneficial plant growth promoting microbes is one of the novel approaches that can result in the generation of new biological formulations under changing climatic conditions. This review is therefore focused on the diversity of microbes, their contributions for plant growth promotion and yield with advances in techniques for screening and development of efficient bio-inoculant with a special emphasis on promoting sustainable agriculture practices.
