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

This review highlights the potential of endophytic microorganisms and their secondary metabolites as innovative biopesticides for sustainable disease management in agriculture. Agriculture faces substantial challenges from phytopathogens, resulting in significant economic losses worldwide, which are typically addressed with synthetic pesticides that pose environmental and health hazards. Endophytic microorganisms residing within plant tissues without inducing disease provide a natural defence alternative by synthesising a variety of beneficial secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolics, and peptides. These chemicals serve as ecological mediators, directly inhibiting pathogens, promoting plant systemic resistance, and improving nutrient absorption and stress resilience. The review elucidates the biosynthesis routes of these metabolites, their ecological functions, and the symbiotic chemical interactions between endophytes and host plants that enhance plant growth and defence. Bacterial endophytes, including
