Enhancing maize growth and drought resilience by synergistic application of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
The agriculture system in India is mostly rainfed, water is a major limiting factor in the country. Limited access to available water creates a drought-like condition which severely affects the crop production. Maize was selected as the target crop due to its importance as third major crop after wheat and rice and its huge water demand. The present study was conducted to observe the effect of bacterial inoculants on drought stress tolerance of Zea mays L. The maize seeds (DH line and composite) were treated with 2 bacterial inoculants (LZn-4 and S34) which were characterized as plant growth-promoting microorganisms and were able to tolerate water potential of - 1.5 MPa. The experiment was conducted in two conditions Vis-à-vis stress and without stress. As per the observation plant height, relative water content, antioxidants level, and soil enzymes were found to be maximum in the case of LZn-4 in drought conditions. Principal component analysis also highlighted the positive correlation of some of the treatments (T2 and T8) with microbial inoculants towards different stress related factors. The present investigation needs to be taken to the field level to understand the relationship between microbial inoculants and drought stress in real-time situations.
