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

Lycopodium clavatum L., a well-known medicinal herb, grows luxuriantly in the eroding nutrient-poor mountain terrain of Darjeeling Himalaya. Rhizospheric microbiomes mediated growth and development for the plant has not been studied. This is the first report deciphering the cross-talk of the untapped rhizomicrobiome of L. clavatum. Three potential PGPR (plant growth promoting rhizobacteria) bacteria viz. Bacillus mycoides KUR1107, B. mycoides KUR1109 and Alcaligenes pakistanensis subsp. lycopodii KUR1110T* were identified based on 16S rRNA sequencing. The subsp. nov. has strong Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) producing (150.66 ± 7.46 µg/ml), phosphate solubilizing (11.9 ± 0.21 µg/ml) and siderophore producing (99.1 ± 2.48 nmol/ml) property. It stimulates plant growth following root inoculation. Genome-wide data mining was performed for the unexplored A. pakistanensis subsp. lycopodii KUR1110 to find novel genes and metabolites. The genome of A. pakistanensis is ~ 3.99 Mb in size, with 3607 protein-coding genes. Genomic characterization gives a deeper insight into a repertoire of genes associated with antibiotic resistance, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, heavy metal resistance, IAA synthesis, and metabolism of sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorus. Production of inorganic phosphate solubilizing organic acids, siderophore biosynthesis precursors, and the compounds involved in defence were detected by Liquid chromatography-Mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. In silico analysis of two key genes viz. di-iron N-oxygenase (dnfA) of dirammox pathway and lysine decarboxylase of siderophore biosynthesis revealed that the proteins were stable to execute their functions. A. pakistanensis subsp. lycopodii, contributing to global biogeochemical cycling, is a potential bioinoculant in nutrient-poor/heavy metal-infested soil and can be developed for sustainable bioremediation and biomining technology. [*NCBI accession no and MTCC deposit no for all three strains are B. mycoides KUR1107 (NCBI OR 592244, MTCC 13924), B. mycoides KUR1109 (NCBI OR592282, MTCC 13925), and A. pakistanensis subsp. lycopodii KUR1110T (NCBI OR592286, MTCC 13945)].
