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

Introduction: Sugar beet is a crucial sugar crop, and its yield and quality are vulnerable to the adverse effects of continuous cropping. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria function as biological control agents and exhibit high potential for crop growth promotion. Methods: In this study, soil subjected to continuous sugar beet cropping was selected as the experimental substrate to evaluate the effects of Results: The results indicated that Sphingomonads inoculation significantly improved the agronomic performance of sugar beet seedlings, as evidenced by increased plant height, stem diameter, aboveground and root fresh weight, and enhanced nitrogen and phosphorus uptake. In addition, inoculation increased soil pH, available potassium content, and sucrase activity. Microbial community analysis revealed that all inoculation treatments markedly altered the diversity and composition of the rhizosphere microbiome. Compared with the continuous cropping control, the inoculated soils exhibited a significantly higher abundance of Pseudomonadota, exceeding that observed under crop rotation. Moreover, beneficial genera (e.g., Conclusion: Overall, Sphingomonad inoculation effectively regulated the structure and function of the rhizosphere microbial community, improved soil enzyme activity and nutrient availability, and promoted sugar beet seedling growth. This study provides a theoretical foundation and potential biocontrol strategy for mitigating continuous cropping obstacles in sugar beet cultivation.
