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

Crocus sativus L. is propagated through corms, relies on corm fresh weight for yield and quality. Beneficial microbes offer a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers. This study isolated ten rhizospheric fungi from C. sativus rhizosphere soil, identifying their plant growth-promoting traits: all produced indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA), seven degraded 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC), nine synthesized siderophores, and one solubilized phosphate. As indicated by the findings from the field trials, it was observed that SR07 (Clonostachys sp.), SR09 (Fusarium sp.), SR15 (Fusarium sp.), SR22 (Cadophora sp.), SR24 (Aspergillus sp.), SR75 (Plectosphaerella sp.) and SR89 (Fusarium sp.) had a positive impact on the fresh weight of C. sativus corms. Additionally, a reduction in the malondialdehyde content was observed, accompanied by an elevation in the antioxidant enzyme system in corms treated with SR07 and SR09. Further research indicates that SR07 and SR09 cause an increase in the total bacterial and fungi count, resulting in elevated levels of microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen in rhizosphere soil, and the levels of soil sucrase, urease, dehydrogenase, catalase, acid phosphatase activities and alkaline phosphatase activities were also increased. The study further explores how plant growth-promoting fungi regulate gene expression to promote the accumulation of crocin and picrocrocin in C. sativus. Finally, the correlation analysis showed that the positive effects caused by beneficial rhizospheric fungi were important for the increase of corms production.
