Use of a Pleurotus ostreatus Complex Cell Wall Extract as Elicitor of Plant Defenses: From Greenhouse to Field Trial.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. 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
Fungi constitute an abundant source of natural polysaccharides, some of them harboring original structures which can induce responses in mammalian or plant cells. An alkaline extract from the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus has been obtained and called Pleuran complex cell wall extract (CCWE). It consists of a glucan-peptide complex whose components fall in a quite broad range of molecular weights, from 30 to 80 kDa. Pleuran extract has been tested on cultivated plants in laboratory conditions and also during field trial for its capacity to stimulate plant defenses in response to pathogen attack. Following Pleuran CCWE treatment, enhanced levels of various biochemical markers associated with plant responses have been observed, including enzymatic activities (e.g., peroxidase) or expression of some pathogenesis-related genes. In addition, during field experiments, we have noticed significant reductions in disease symptom levels in relation to different plant/pathogen systems (wheat/septoria, vine/mildew). These results confirmed that Pleuran CCWE could be used as an elicitor of plant defenses and could help in reducing pesticide applications against plant pathogens.
