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

Drought occurrence owing to climate change is a major constraint to attain sustainable agriculture, severely limiting crop growth and productivity. Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids), a key crop in tropical and subtropical regions, is particularly susceptible to drought stress because of its extended growth duration and high-water requirements. In this study, previously identified four plant growth promoting Leucobacter komagatae (ASBD2, ASBD15, ASBD19 and ASBD30) were evaluated under greenhouse conditions (pot culture study) over two consecutive years (2023-24 and 2024-25). Of these four isolates, L. komagatae ASBD19 showed the strongest performance for several physiological and drought-response attributes, whereas ASBD2 and ASBD15 were more effective for biomass accumulation and nutrient acquisition, respectively. The ASBD 19 strain exhibited significantly enhanced germination rate (70% and 66% at 60 days after planting (DAP)), tillering ( 8 and 9 tillers/pot at 180 days), plant height (118 cm and 127 cm at 270 days), photosynthetic activity at grand growth stage (PAR incident on leaf surface 1150.7 µmol m-
