Antagonistic Activity of Lactic Acid Bacteria Against Phytopathogenic Fungi Isolated from Cherry Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme).
Article in Current microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The postharvest deterioration of cherry tomatoes due to diseases caused by fungi is one of the main causes of the loss of this product. The objective of this study was to determine the antagonistic capacity by evaluating the antifungal power of nine strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in vitro against the phytopathogenic fungi Aspergillus niger, Fusarium sp., and Rhizopus stolonifer isolated from cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) and to measure the biosurfactant production capacity, its antagonism in vivo, and the production of organic acids. The results showed that seven of the nine strains were able to inhibit at least one of the three fungi isolated in the in vitro assay. In eight of nine strains, biosurfactant production was identified, and the strains Weissella confusa and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum A6 showed the highest antifungal activity in vitro and in vivo against the fungi evaluated, with the identification of organic acid production in both strains. LAB demonstrated the ability to inhibit cherry tomato fungi, thus emerging as an alternative to the use of chemical preservatives in the production of this fruit and being projected as a preservation technology for this type of product through the use of strains or their metabolites.
