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

Soil salinization, a growing global issue threatening sustainable agriculture, can be mitigated by Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) as a green strategy. PGPB primarily consist of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and plant growth-promoting endophytes (PGPE). Numerous studies have demonstrated that both types of bacteria can enhance plant performance under salt stress through various mechanisms that help maintain ion homoeostasis, improve osmotic adjustment, and enhance antioxidant defence. Although PGPR and PGPE share highly conserved core mechanisms, their distinct colonisation niches lead to functional divergence in efficacy, stability, and ecological roles. This review systematically summarises these conserved mechanisms for enhancing plant salt tolerance. Furthermore, it elaborates on their functional differences across various ecological niches and discusses the major challenges and future directions for the field application of these PGPB. Ultimately, this review aims to provide a theoretical foundation for the scientific deployment of PGPB in saline agroecosystems.
