Deciphering Trichoderma viride-mediated cadmium stress alleviation in wheat: morphological, physiological and biochemical insights.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe extremely hazardous metal cadmium (Cd) restricts plant growth and interferes with many morphological, biochemical and physiological functions. One biotechnology strategy is the application of fungi to eliminate harmful pollutants from the environment. METHODOLOGY: Trichoderma viride strain RA1 is employed to investigate its prospective for Cd scavenging and promoting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth. The colony diameter and mycelial dry weights (dwt) of T. viride were examined. Also, a randomized pot experiment was conducted to mitigate the Cd harmful effects in wheat plants using T. viride RA1grown under Cd-stressed (200 mg/L) conditions.
resultsThe results revealed that with increasing Cd conc., colony diameter and mycelial dwt of T. viride decreased. Also, various phenotypic, physiological and biochemical characteristics were evaluated. Cd content in T. aestivum shoots and roots were appraised. Regarding osmoprotectants, the highest increase in proline content (16.14%), glycine betaine (24.95%) and protein (28.07%) was detected in T. aestivum plants with T. viride RA1 beneath Cd imposition. The MP-AES results indicated a greater buildup of Cd in the roots of plants inoculated with T. viride RA1 than non-inoculated ones. Our data suggest that T. viride can be utilized to increase total antioxidant capacity and osmoprotectant levels while decreasing malondialdehyde, electrolyte leakage, in addition to H2O2 levels in order to lessen the detrimental effects of Cd on T. aestivum plants.
conclusionAccording to our findings, T. viride RA1 may function as a bio inoculant, encouraging T. aestivum development under Cd stress, thereby assisting sustainable farming methods.
