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
Crop yield losses stemming from pathogen infection and pests constitute 10%-40% of the potential annual total world crop production. Biological control agents have gained prominence as an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of hazardous synthetic agrochemicals. Herein, we evaluated the potential role of endophytic bacteria from cassava as biological control agents of three crop phytopathogenic fungi. Eighty-four endophytic bacteria isolated from cassava were assessed for antagonistic activity against phytopathogens Colletotrichum siamense, Colletotrichum sublineola, and Phytophthora infestans infecting cassava, sorghum and potato, respectively. Fourteen endophytic bacteria exhibited antifungal activity against the three phytopathogens. Of the 14 endophytic bacteria, four [Bacillus siamensis AS3, B. velezensis (DP1 and CS3b) and B. subtilis DL6] demonstrated significantly high inhibition rate on mycelial growth ranging from 62% to 72.3% against C. siamense, 63%-65.9% against C. sublineola and 64%-75.3% against P. infestans as compared with the control. The four endophytic bacteria produced volatile organic compounds that inhibited fungal growth ranging from 34.1% to 46.4% in P. infestans, 31.9%-36% in C. siamense and 33.9%-39.6% in C. sublineola. The results highlight the biocontrol potential of endophytic bacteria from cassava against three crop phytopathogenic fungi, which could be used for the future development of sustainable management strategies using environmentally friendly approaches. This study demonstrated that B. siamensis, B. velezensis, and B. subtilis with a strong antagonistic effect on C. siamense, C. sublineola, and P. infestans, can be potential biocontrol agents for cassava and sorghum anthracnose and potato late blight.
