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

The shift toward sustainable agriculture has increased interest in biostimulants and in novel strategies for their delivery to crops. Key challenges include improving the stability, field performance, and environmental compatibility of these agents. This study investigates a circular economy approach to develop biobased carriers from cellulose and pectin for the delivery of two plant growth-promoting bacteria, Bacillus sp. LR01 and Rhizobium sp. GR12, and a phytoextract obtained from leafy vegetable by-products. Both bacterial strains exhibited distinct colonization patterns in the rhizosphere of lettuce and tomato. When incorporated into two biobased carriers (BC1 and BC2), Rhizobium sp. GR12 did not survive desiccation and was therefore alternatively encapsulated in alginate beads showing a survival rate of 10
