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

Active volcanic environments represent extreme habitats with underexplored potential for microbial bioprospecting. This study aimed to characterize pioneer vegetation and associated microbial diversity in the crater of "El Chichonal" volcano, with an emphasis on their potential applications in sustainable agriculture. A physicochemical analysis of the soil was performed, identifying acidic and nutrient-poor conditions. Three pioneer plant species were described: Tibouchina longifolia (dominant) and Poaceae spp. (co-dominant), and Palhinhaea cernua (non-dominant). A total of 311 microorganisms were predominantly bacteria, were isolated from soil, root, stem, and water samples. Bacillus cereus and Priestia megaterium were molecularly identified, and in vitro assays demonstrated their ability to fix nitrogen, produce auxins, and antagonize fungal pathogens (Alternaria solani, Botrytis cinerea, and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides). These results suggest that microorganisms adapted to extreme volcanic environments could be promising sources of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) with application in biological control.
