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

Soil salinization is intensifying globally and poses a serious threat to food security. Halotolerant or halophilic plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are considered effective biological tools for improving the agricultural productivity of saline soils. In this study, a halotolerant bacterial strain, Enterobacter bugandensis C5-7, was isolated and characterized from the rhizosphere soil of maize cultivated in saline-alkaline soils of a coastal region. Strain C5-7 significantly promoted maize growth under soil salinity of 0.4% (w/w), increasing seedling dry weight by 28.52%, and enhancing root development. To further elucidate the underlying mechanisms, whole-genome sequencing and analysis revealed that C5-7 harbors numerous genes associated with plant growth promotion, including those involved in phosphate solubilization, siderophore production, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) synthesis, polyamine and volatile organic compound biosynthesis, and colonization of plant tissues. Furthermore, a GFP-tagged C5-7 strain with strong fluorescence was constructed, and colonization assays under salt stress confirmed its endophytic ability in maize tissues. Collectively, these findings enrich the theoretical basis for the role of PGPB in enhancing plant salt tolerance and provide novel microbial resources for sustainable agricultural development.
