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

Microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) play a crucial role in regulating plant growth through indirect plant-microbe interactions. In this study, we have investigated the molecular mechanisms of plant growth promotion by mVOCs released from Acinetobacter sp. WCHAc060042, Cereibacter sphaeroides TS, Pseudomonas putida YH-2, Acinetobacter tjernbergiae DSM 14971, and Pseudomonas sp. CA10. The volatiles 2,5-dimethylpyrazine (2,5-D) and diethylene glycol (at 100 µM) increased the shoot and root dry weight and increased the chlorophyll a and b, total chlorophyll a+b, carotenoid, and potassium concentrations in the shoots of Arabidopsis seedlings. Furthermore, 2,5-D significantly increased the accumulation of total nitrogen, nitrate, and calcium in the shoots as well as ammonium in the roots, and the expression of AtNRTs and AtAMTs was highly induced in the roots of Arabidopsis seedlings. The transcriptome profile revealed that 1753 and 2766 genes were differentially expressed in the shoots and roots of Arabidopsis, respectively. These genes encompassed plant hormone-related genes, such as those for SAURs and NRT2 family proteins, as well as defense-related transcription factors, including cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (CNGCs), those of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, and WRKYs. In conclusion, these results suggest that 2,5-D is a potential candidate for promoting plant growth by regulating nitrate and ammonium transporters.
