Potential of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens XSZ-1 as a bio-inoculant for enhancing cotton productivity and health in saline-alkali cotton field soil.

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
Soil salinization and fungal diseases severely constrain cotton production in Xinjiang, necessitating the development of sustainable and regionally adapted biocontrol strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the plant growth-promoting and biocontrol potential of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens XSZ-1, a bacterial strain isolated from continuous cotton field soil in Xinjiang. The strain XSZ-1 demonstrated pronounced tolerance to saline-alkaline stress, sustaining growth at NaCl concentrations up to 60.00 g/L and pH values ranging from 7.0 to 9.0. XSZ-1 exhibited multiple plant growth-promoting traits, including solubilization of both organic and inorganic phosphorus and IAA production (12.38 µg/mL). Antagonistic assays revealed broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against all tested phytopathogens. Inoculation with XSZ-1 significantly enhanced cotton plant height (12.67%), root length (11.44%), and dry matter accumulation (up to 122.05% increase in root dry weight) compared to the uninoculated control. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens XSZ-1 is a promising multi-functional bacterium with both plant growth-promoting and biocontrol capabilities, well-suited for integration into cotton production systems in saline-alkaline regions. These findings provide a foundation for further field validation and mechanistic studies to support sustainable agriculture in Xinjiang.
