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

Introduction: Saline-alkaline stress is an increasing threat to agricultural productivity due to climate change and anthropogenic activities. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) have emerged as a sustainable approach to enhance crop growth and stress tolerance under adverse environmental conditions. In this study, two halotolerant strains, Methods: The stress tolerance and plant growth-promoting traits of Pp13 and Pp16 was evaluated under different salinity and pH conditions. The effects of bacterial inoculation on the growth and stress tolerance of foxtail millet ( Results: Both Pp13 and Pp16 formed biofilms and accumulated proline under stress conditions, while their phosphorus-solubilizing activity was only slightly affected by elevated salinity and pH. Notably, Pp13 maintained IAA-like metabolite production and ACC deaminase activity under stress conditions. Inoculation with either strains significantly improved the growth and stress tolerance of foxtail millet under saline-alkaline conditions. Bacterial inoculation increased proline accumulation, elevated ascorbate peroxidase activity, improved photosynthetic performance, and reduced oxidative damage and sodium accumulation, resulting in greater biomass accumulation. Discussion: These findings demonstrate that Pp13 and Pp16 possess multiple stress-adaptive and plant growth-promoting traits that contribute to improved crop performance under saline-alkaline conditions. The results highlight the potential of these strains as bioinoculants for sustainable crop production in saline-alkaline soils and identify
