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

Rhizosphere bacteria can support crop production by promoting plant health, soil fertility, and resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the potential role of soil-beneficial bacteria, particularly plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), remains inadequately explored in citrus production grown on pH-stressed soil. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of PGPR on citrus growth and soil health indicators under pH-stressed Florida sandy soil. A greenhouse study was conducted at the University of Florida, Lake Alfred, which followed a 3 × 3 factorial randomized complete block design with three soil pH levels (5.0, 6.5, and 8.0) and three PGPR (P)/fertilizer (F) combinations (P + 75% F, P + 100% F, and 100% F only). Soil pH conditions were adjusted using a soil neutralization curve generated by soil incubation methods. The results showed that the soil pH factor significantly influenced most crop growth parameters, with optimal results at a pH of 6.5. PGPR significantly (p < 0.05) improved the plant height (27.84 cm), root mass density (7.65 mg/cm
