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

A bacterial strain designated DS15 was isolated from the leaves of Salvia miltiorrhiza and characterized to assess its plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits. Based on 16 S rRNA gene and genome alignment, DS15 strain was identified as Methylobacterium radiotolerans. Its PGP traits, including indole acetic acid (IAA) production, phosphate solubilization, and siderophore secretion were determined. Foliar application of DS15 strain significantly increased 35.0% of fresh weight of lettuce seedlings grown in a standard growth chamber compared to the control group. Genomic analysis revealed the presence of multiple genes associated with plant growth promotion, including aldB, ltaE, phnI, phnN, as well as phosphoketolase pathway genes such as xfp, ack, and acs in DS15 strain. The introduction of the PRS mutation (an aspartic acid to an asparagine residue, D38N) in the DS15 strain, resulting in DS15
