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

Among microbials, Trichoderma spp. have been the focus of significant research due to their capacity to promote plant growth and suppress a wide range of phytopathogens. A total of 27 native isolates of Trichoderma spp. were obtained from diverse agroecological regions of the province of Tucumán, Argentina, and were characterized by their antagonistic activity and phytostimulant potential. In vitro assays revealed the ability of the isolates to combat fungal phytopathogens that affect various economically important crops, such as Penicillium digitatum, Alternaria alternata, Botrytis cinerea, Phytophthora capsici, and Fusarium oxysporum. Furthermore, it was determined that diffusible compounds secreted by Trichoderma isolates did not induce the elongation of the primary root of Arabidopsis thaliana in vitro; however, volatile compounds released by certain isolates not only induced this process but also increased the area occupied by the lateral roots of the plant. Based on this screening, five isolates were selected for further analyses: T. longibrachiatum (CP-1), T. breve (HM-1), T. scalesiae (L1-03), T. yunnanense (M4Ar-05), and T. atrobrunneum (M5Ar-03). The strains were evaluated for their ability to promote the growth of A. thaliana under greenhouse conditions and modulate the expression of growth and defense-related genes. All treated plants exhibited increased biomass and leaf area, accompanied by isolate-dependent changes in the expression of genes involved in plant development and immune responses. These results suggest that the selected Trichoderma spp. possess multiple beneficial traits, with valuable agricultural properties, and provide a basis for the development of bioformulations adapted to local production systems.
