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 inoculants show potential for remediating nitrate-rich, salinized soils. However, native strains often exhibit suboptimal performance under high-salinity and high-nitrate conditions, limiting their practical application. To develop a nitrate-reducing strain suitable for saline soil remediation, we adaptively acclimated a nitrate-reducing Bacillus velezensis strain BV-1 under high-nitrate conditions to enhance its salt tolerance and nitrogen metabolic capacity. The acclimatized strain exhibited significantly upregulated nar genes (4.71- to 7.56-fold) and nirD expression (1.36-fold), indicating enhanced nitrate assimilation and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium activity. In pot experiments, inoculation with this strain resulted in 46.85% nitrate removal, improved nutrient utilization (with increases of 21.86% in ammonium-N and 29.64% in available phosphorus utilization), and a 20.82% increase in lettuce fresh weight. These findings demonstrate that microbial acclimatization is an effective strategy for developing robust bioinoculants, with broad implications for sustainable agriculture and microbial strain engineering in salinized environments.
