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

Microbial biostimulants and microbial plant protection products overlap in biological function, creating both R&D opportunities and regulatory challenges. In particular, multi-strain bacterial consortia may simultaneously affect nutrient mobilisation and abiotic stress tolerance, induce resistance, and demonstrate direct antagonism against phytopathogens. This multifunctionality complicates early product development because strain identity alone is sometimes insufficient in predicting product function, efficacy, or the most appropriate regulatory and claims strategy. Here, we used non-targeted LC-MS metabolomics as a hypothesis-generating tool to support formulation decisions for microbial consortia. Three bacterial consortia were compared: a full soil-oriented consortium C1 containing
