Symbiotic interactions of dark septate endophytic fungi on shallot growth under drought stress.

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
Drought stress is one of the major factors limiting the growth and productivity of agricultural crops, including shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.). This study aimed to investigate the role of symbiotic associations between dark septate endophytes (DSEs) and shallot plants in improving growth performance, physiological responses, and yield under varying field capacity. A factorial completely randomized design was employed with two factors: DSE inoculation (without DSE, Cladophialophora nyingchiensis S51, and Diaporthe pandanicola TM1) and field capacity levels (100%, 80%, 50%, and 30% of available water). Observed parameters included vegetative growth, physiological responses, root colonization, and bulb yield. The results demonstrated that DSE inoculation significantly enhanced shallot plants' tolerance to drought stress. Cladophialophora nyingchiensis S51 exhibited superior performance in promoting vegetative growth, increasing plant height by 38%, root length by 122%, leaf biomass by 27%, and root biomass by 130% under severe drought conditions (30% field capacity). In contrast, Diaporthe pandanicola TM1 was more effective in enhancing root biomass (110%) and bulb formation (31%) under severe drought conditions (30% field capacity). Physiologically, both DSE inoculations increased chlorophyll content, reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation, and enhanced proline production, indicating improved adaptive responses to water deficit. Furthermore, both DSE inoculation increased bulb number and bulb weight across all field capacity levels. These findings demonstrate that C. nyingchiensis S51 and D. pandanicola TM1 have considerable potential as biological agents to improve drought tolerance and enhance shallot productivity in sustainable agricultural systems.
