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

Common bunt of wheat caused by Tilletia laevis and/or T. caries (syn. T. tritici), is a major disease in wheat-growing regions worldwide that could lead to 80% or even total loss of production. Even though T. laevis can be distinguished from T. caries on the bases of morphology of teliospores using microscopy technique. However, molecular methods could serve as an additional method to quantify the pathogen. To develop a rapid diagnostic and quantify method, we employed the ISSR molecular marker for T. laevis in this study. The primer ISSR857 generated a polymorphic pattern displaying a 1385 bp T. laevis-specific DNA fragment. A pair of specific primers (L57F/L57R) was designed to amplify a sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) (763 bp) for the PCR detection assay. The primers amplified the DNA fragment in the tested isolates of T. laevis but failed in the related species, including T. caries. The detection limit of the primer set (L57F/L57R) was 5 ng/µl of DNA extracted from T. laevis teliospores. A SYBR Green I real-time PCR method for detecting T. laevis with a 100 fg/µl detection limit and droplet digital PCR with a high sensitivity (30 fg/µl detection limit) were developed; this technique showed the most sensitive detection compared to the SCAR marker and SYBR Green I real-time PCR. Additionally, this is the first study related the detection of T. laevis with the droplet digital PCR method.
