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
In this study, six multi-metal-tolerant bacterial strains having PGP traits were isolated and examined for the effect of lead (Pb) on them. For isolate A (Agrobacterium pusense) and B2 (Arthrobacter sp.), the highest minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were, Pb(II) (13,000 ppm), mercury (160–200 ppm), and arsenic (950-1,200 ppm). B3 (Bacillus paramycoides) and RS2 (Enterobacter cloacae) exhibited superior tolerance to chromium, zinc, nickel, and copper with MICs of 850, 1,000, 900, and 900 ppm, respectively. RS1 (Kosakonia oryzae) showed the highest tolerance to antimony (550 ppm) and cadmium (120 ppm), whereas B1 (Cronobacter muytjensii) showed the highest tin tolerance (500 ppm). The isolates showed multiple PGP traits; indole acetic acid (IAA) production ranged from 6 to 225.5 ± 11 µg mL− 1, while gibberellic acid (GA) ranged from 25.6 ± 0.7 to 65 ± 0.5 µg mL− 1. 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACCD) activity varied from 4.3 ± 0.4 to 20.6 ± 2 µM α-ketobutyrate mg− 1 protein h− 1, while ammonia production ranged from 17.1 ± 0.56 to 39.1 ± 0.63 µM mL− 1. Furthermore, all the strains showed high Pb(II) tolerance, and no significant inhibitory effect of Pb(II) was observed on growth and PGP traits up to 200 ppm. Though some traits decreased after Pb(II) exposure, such as ACCD, while others increased (IAA) at high Pb(II) concentrations, making them interesting candidates for phytoremediation of Pb-contaminated soils and for promoting plant development in such conditions.
