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

Diseases caused by begomoviruses are becoming the major limiting factors for the production of watermelon in India. Survey for the incidence of plants showing symptoms typical to begomovirus infection was conducted in watermelon fields. The study revealed that 40% of the watermelon plants were showing the yellowing and downward curling symptoms. Twenty infected samples were collected from the different farmer's fields to know the association of begomoviruses. The PCR amplification using begomovirus-specific primers resulted in an expected 1.2 kb PCR product indicating the begomovirus association with the watermelon samples. The sequence comparison results of 1.2 kb representing partial genome revealed that all sequences obtained from watermelon samples have a nucleotide (nt) identity of more than 98% among them and are maximum homology with Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV). One watermelon sample (WM1) was selected for complete genome amplification using RCA method (rolling-circle amplification). Amplification of DNA B and no amplification of betasatellites and alphasatellite indicated this virus as bipartite. Sequence Demarcation Tool (SDT) analysis of the DNA A component of the WM1 isolate showed the maximum nt identity of 94.6-97.9% and 85.2-95.8% with ToLCNDV infecting cucurbits. The recombinant analysis showed that the genome was likely to be derived from the recombination of already reported begomoviruses (ToLCNDV, ToLCPalV, and MYMIV) infecting diverse crops. The whitefly cryptic species predominant in the begomovirus-infected watermelon fields were identified as Asia-II-5 group. The LAMP assay developed based on coat protein gene sequence was able to detect the ToLCNDV in the infected samples. Visual detection of the LAMP-amplified products was observed with the hydroxy naphthol blue. LAMP assay was also validated with ToLCNDV infected sponge gourd, spine gourd, ivy gourd, ridge gourd, and cucumber. This is the first report of ToLCNDV association with leaf curl and yellowing disease of watermelon from India and World based on complete genome sequencing.
