Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) mediated amelioration of plant tolerance to abiotic stresses: Drought, salinity, and heavy metals.
Review in Archives of microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Plants, being sessile organisms, are perpetually subjected to a spectrum of escalating abiotic stresses, which have detrimental repercussions on agriculture worldwide. In the forthcoming era of climate change and ecosystem degradation, fostering the use of beneficial microbiota in agroecosystems represents a major challenge towards sustainability. Some plant-associated bacteria, called Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), may confer growth-promoting advantages to the host plant through enhancing nutrient uptake, altering hormone homeostasis, and/or improving tolerance to abiotic stress factors (drought, heavy metal, and salinity stress) in plants. These include promoting plant growth through the activation of antioxidant enzymes to detoxify reactive oxygen species, accumulation of compatible solutes to maintain osmotic homeostasis, suppression of lipid peroxidation to conserve membrane integrity, and emission of volatile organic compounds to induce systemic resistance. Additionally, PGPR synthesize phytohormones and exopolysaccharides that reinforce their persistence in soil, improve plant-water relations, and optimize nutrient uptake efficiency. In this regard, exploring the key ecological and evolutionary interactions between plants and their microbiomes is a prerequisite to developing innovative approaches and novel natural products that will complement conventional farming techniques. Collectively, these interactions fortify plant defense mechanisms, enhance physiological homeostasis, and promote adaptive plasticity in adverse environments. Herein, we describe the role of plant-microbe interactions in mitigating abiotic stress and fostering sustainable crop production. Leveraging multifactorial PGPR in agroecosystems strengthens the adaptive resilience of plants, reduces dependency on synthetic fertilizers, maintains soil microbiome integrity, cellular homeostasis, nutrient cycling, improves water retention, and ensures sustainable productivity in stress-prone and resource-limited regions.
