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

Failures in control of tan spot of pyrethrum, caused by Didymella tanaceti, has been associated with decreased sensitivity within the pathogen population to the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide boscalid. Sequencing the SdhB, SdhC, and SdhD subunits of isolates with resistant and sensitive phenotypes identified 15 mutations, resulting in three amino acid substitutions in the SdhB (H277Y/R, I279V), six in the SdhC (S73P, G79R, H134R, H134Q, S135R and combined H134Q/S135R), and two in the SdhD (D112E, H122R). In vitro testing of their boscalid response and estimation of resistance factors (RF) identified isolates with wild-type (WT) Sdh genotypes were sensitive to boscalid. Isolates with SdhB-I279V, SdhC-H134Q and SdhD-D112E exhibited moderate resistance phenotypes (10 ≥ RF < 100) and isolates with SdhC-H134R exhibited very high resistance phenotypes (RF ≥ 1000). All other substitutions were associated with high resistance phenotypes (100 ≥ RF < 1000). High-resolution melt assays were designed and used to estimate the frequencies of substitutions in four field populations (n = 774) collected in August (pre-boscalid application) and November (post-boscalid application) 2012. The SdhB-H277Y, SdhC-H134R and SdhB-H277R genotypes were most frequently observed across populations at 56.7, 19.0, and 10.3%, respectively. In August 92.9% of D. tanaceti contained a substitution associated with decreased sensitivity. Following boscalid application, this increased to 98.9%, with no WT isolates detected in three fields. Overlaying previously obtained microsatellite and mating-type data revealed that all ten recurrent substitutions were associated with multiple genotypes. Thus, boscalid insensitivity in D. tanaceti appears widespread and not associated with clonal spread of a limited pool of individuals.
