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

The drought resistance of Cinnamomum migao seedlings inoculated with endophytic fungi was explored under different drought stress conditions. The seedlings of C. migao were inoculated with Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma longibrachiatum in the rhizosphere, with non-inoculated seedlings serving as the control. Then, the seedlings of C. migao were exposed to different drought stress gradients: normal water supply (80 ± 5% moisture, control), mild (60 ± 5% moisture, T1), moderate (45 ± 5% moisture, T2), and severe (25 ± 5% moisture, T3) drought stress. After 30 days of each drought stress treatment, samples were collected, and growth parameters, osmotic substance content, antioxidant enzyme activity, chlorophyll content, and endogenous hormone concentrations were measured. Compared with the control group, inoculation with T. harzianum and T. longibrachiatum promoted the growth of C. migao seedlings to varying extents. This inoculation also enhanced their root absorption capacity, increased the relative water content, chlorophyll, and abscisic acid (ABA) levels in leaf tissues (p < 0.05), and facilitated the accumulation of osmotic substances while boosting antioxidant enzyme activity (p < 0.05). Furthermore, it reduced water potential and decreased the contents of malonaldehyde (MDA), indoleacetic acid (IAA), gibberellin (GA₃), and ribosylzeatin (ZR) (p < 0.05). T. harzianum and T. longibrachiatum significantly improved the drought resistance of C. migao seedlings under stress conditions. These findings provide a theoretical basis for further research and development of microbial inoculants.
