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
This study explored the potential of Bacillus halotolerans XJ-1 as a biocontrol agent against Fusarium asiaticum, the pathogen of maize stem base rot. Pot experiments were conducted to determine the morphological and physiological indicators of corn treated with and without strain XJ-1, and the incidence rate, disease index, and relative control efficacy were calculated. The effects of the fermentation filtrate of XJ-1 on the reactive oxygen species content and the activities of related defense enzymes of F. asiaticum were determined. Compared with the treatment of only inoculating F. asiaticum, only inoculating XJ-1 for biological enhancement significantly alleviated the severity of maize stem base rot and reduced the disease incidence. The protective and therapeutic efficacy of XJ-1 against F. asiaticum was 61.7% and 56.3%, respectively. Compared with the control, XJ-1 significantly promoted the growth of corn with an increase of plant height, stem diameter, dry and fresh weight of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, and leaf area by 32.30%, 33.33%, 24.48%, 32.14%, 40.66%, 20.92%, and 28.95%, respectively. The contents of chlorophyll, soluble protein, soluble sugar, nitrate nitrogen, and inorganic phosphorus in the leaves all increased significantly by 1.75, 1.29, 1.07, 1.47, and 1.40 times that of the control, respectively. The fermentation filtrate of XJ-1 significantly increased the contents of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion, along with the clearance rate of the hydroxyl radical, whereas the activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase were significantly reduced. Moreover, XJ-1destroyed the hyphae and cell structure of F. asiaticum, leading to depression, dryness, uneven thickness, and leakage of cell contents. Therefore, strain XJ-1 has a significant promoting effect on corn plants suffering from corn stem base rot with potential application value in biological control and agricultural production.
