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

Soil salinization has emerged as a critical abiotic stressor threatening global food security, with salt-affected areas now exceeding 1.381 billion hectares. Although microbial inoculants represent a sustainable remediation alternative, their field performance is consistently limited by poor survival rates and community collapse under saline stress. This review proposes a spatially and functionally structured bio-strategy based on hydrogel encapsulated microalgae-bacteria consortia (MBC) for the restoration of saline-alkali soils. We mechanistically analyze how rationally designed hydrogel scaffolds serve as modular microhabitats that provide not only physical protection but also niche differentiation and metabolic facilitation for the co-cultured organisms. By integrating the complementary functions of microalgae and bacteria within a protective matrix, this approach significantly enhances cross-kingdom synergies, crop salt tolerance, and soil structural stability. The hydrogel-MBC framework thus establishes a designable and scalable platform for enhancing ecological resilience in degraded agricultural ecosystems.
