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

Increasing concerns over excessive agrochemical use, the emergence of resistant phytopathogens, and the impacts of climate variability on crop productivity have increased interest in plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as promising biological alternatives for sustainable crop production. Pseudomonas spp. are among the most extensively studied PGPR due to their remarkable metabolic diversity, strong rhizosphere colonization, and multifunctional roles in enhancing plant nutrition, improving stress tolerance, and suppressing plant diseases. These Gram-negative bacteria enhance plant growth through diverse direct and indirect mechanisms, including biological nitrogen fixation or stimulation of nitrogen fixation in co-existing diazotrophs, phosphate solubilization, siderophore-mediated iron acquisition, nutrient and niche competition with pathogens, secretion of antimicrobial metabolites, and activation of induced systemic resistance in plants. Recent advances in omics technologies have improved understanding of the mechanisms underlying Pseudomonas mediated plant nutrition and biocontrol. However, these insights remain fragmented across the literature, limiting a comprehensive understanding of Pseudomonas-plant interactions. This review synthesizes current knowledge on nutrient mobilization, siderophore activity, antimicrobial metabolite production, and induced plant defense responses associated with beneficial Pseudomonas spp. Emphasis is placed on how these mechanisms collectively enhance plant productivity, stress tolerance, and disease resistance, highlighting the potential of Pseudomonas spp. as sustainable biofertilizers and biopesticides.
