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

MAIN

conclusionThe plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium, Pseudomonas putida AKMP7, enhances biomass and yield, while Bacillus endophyticus J13 specifically promotes early flowering, in hydroponically grown rice. Our laboratory has previously reported the beneficial impacts of free-living, plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), Pseudomonas putida AKPM7 and Bacillus endophyticus J13 on growth and stress-tolerance in plants (Gopalan et al. 2022, 2024; Nikhil et al. 2023, 2024; Sharma et al. 2024). In this study, we examined the effects of these two rhizobacterial strains on the growth, morphological traits and yield of three rice varieties-IR64, Rc140 (TUBIGAN 6) and IR58025B-grown in a hydroponic set-up. The inoculation of these bacteria significantly enhanced plant growth, biomass, and yield across all three varieties. Plants inoculated with J13 exhibited a significant reduction in the number of days to flowering. Analysis of key flowering genes in the rice plants revealed a substantial increase in Hd3a transcript levels, during the pre-flowering stage, in the inoculated plants. The expression levels of other genes-Rft1, Ghd8, and Ehd1-varied between pre-flowering and post-flowering stages in inoculated versus non-inoculated plants, indicating differential gene expression influenced by J13 inoculation. Our findings suggest that AKMP7 enhances biomass and yield in hydroponically grown rice, while J13 specifically promotes early flowering, offering a potential pathway for PGPR-mediated rapid generation advancement in plants.
