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
Rhizosphere bacterial communities play a crucial role in improving nutrient availability, disease and stress resistance, and overall development in plants. Biofertilizers can enhance plant growth, but little is known about their mode of interaction. Here, we studied the impact of seedling coating with two nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterial strains, Nostoc sp. NoHu, or Anabaenopsis circularis AnHu, on chamomile (Chamomilla recutita L.) growth, essential oil yield and quality, apigenin-7-O-glucoside, and the composition of rhizosphere bacterial communities, under field conditions in Egypt. The rhizosphere bacterial community, analyzed by 16 S rRNA amplicon libraries, composed of 31 phyla and 164 different genera. Compared to untreated plants, the application of both strains showed contrasting effects. Nostoc sp. application significantly enhanced almost all tested plant growth parameters, including fresh and dry weights of shoots, roots, and flowers, as well as the yield and content of vital essential oil constituents and the apigenin-7-O-glucoside. Furthermore, Nostoc sp. application increased both the abundance and diversity of the rhizosphere bacterial community compared to untreated plants, suggesting an indirect effect mediated through altering the rhizosphere bacterial community structure. In contrast, A. circularis application negatively affected essential oil yield and quality, exhibited the lowest bacterial abundance and diversity. These findings highlight potential of Nostoc sp. NoHu to boost chamomile productivity and essential oil quality. The contradictory responses between the two cyanobacterial strains emphasize strain-specific effects with Nostoc sp. NoHu as a promising biofertilizer candidate for chamomile.
