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

backgroundSoil-borne diseases such as Fusarium root rot and black shank severely threaten tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) production.

resultsWe assembled a Bacillus-based synthetic microbial community (SynCom) from three well-characterized strains with complementary antagonistic and plant growth-promoting traits: B. amyloliquefaciens G12 (isolated from the tobacco rhizosphere), and two tobacco endophytic strains, B. pumilus Y4 and B. velezensis X25. Prior studies showed that G12 strongly antagonizes Fusarium oxysporum, whereas Y4 and X25 inhibit Phytophthora nicotianae. The SynCom members showed good compatibility (inhibition rate <25%) and the SynCom exhibited higher indole-3-acetic acid production (11.57 ± 0.24 mg·L

conclusionThis Bacillus SynCom provides enhanced disease control and growth promotion relative to single-strain treatments, with limited alteration of the overall rhizosphere community structure, supporting its potential as a sustainable strategy for the management of Fusarium root rot and black shank in tobacco. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
