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

Background: Plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacteria have traditionally been known to have the ability to enhance crop productivity, abiotic stress-tolerance and disease resistance and providing an environmentally-friendly alternative to the currently used chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In this study, endophytic and rhizospheric bacteria were isolated from Methods: Bacterial isolates were screened thoroughly for PGP activities, biocontrol inhibition, biofilm production, extracellular polymeric substance production and catalase activity. Selected isolates were further tested for stress tolerance (salinity, drought and pH extremes), seed germination and growth promotion. The most efficient isolate was subjected to molecular characterization using 16S rRNA sequencing. Results: Seven isolates reliably displayed a wide range of PGP characteristics: efficient phosphate solubilization (up to 12.8 µg/mL), high indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) levels (up to 16.8 µg/mL), siderophore activity and strong ammonia release. Fungal pathogens, i.e., Conclusion: These potential isolates are considerable candidates for biofertilizers and biocontrol developments in stress prone environments.
