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

As a globally important vegetable crop, tomato suffers significant yield losses due to early blight, a fungal disease caused by Alternaria solani. This study investigated the antifungal activity and plant growth-promoting effects of a novel strain, Bacillus velezensis BFWR11. Genomic analysis identified gene clusters responsible for synthesizing metabolites, including lipopeptides and cell wall-degrading enzymes. Among these were clusters for ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), a class known for their potent antibacterial properties. Additionally, some key compounds responsible for synthesizing surface activators, flagellin, and other compounds with antifungal properties were identified by LC-MS analysis. The strain also produces plant growth-promoting substances, including indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). A plate confrontation experiment confirmed that the Bacillus velezensis BFWR11 significantly inhibits the growth of mold hyphae, including Alternaria solani, Cercospora sorghi, Rhizoctonia solani, Monilinia fructicola and Fusarium graminearum. Tomato potting experiment revealed that Bacillus velezensis BFWR11 promoted the growth of shoots, roots, and biomass accumulation, enhanced plant stress tolerance and endogenous disease resistance. These findings highlight the potential of B. velezensis BFWR11 as a highly effective biocontrol agent and plant growth promoter in tomato cultivation.
