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

Rice blast disease is both the most explosive and potentially damaging disease of the world's rice (Oryza sativa) crop and a model system for research on the molecular mechanisms that fungi use to cause plant disease. The blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, is highly evolved to sense when it is on a leaf surface; to develop a pressurized cell, the appressorium, to punch through the leaf cuticle; and then to hijack living rice cells to assist it in causing disease. Host specificity, determining which plants particular fungal strains can infect, is also an important topic for research. The blast fungus is a moving target, quickly overcoming rice resistance genes we deploy to control it, and recently emerging to cause devastating disease on an entirely new cereal crop, wheat. M. oryzae is highly adaptable, with multiple examples of genetic instability at certain gene loci and in certain genomic regions. Understanding the biology of the fungus in the field, and its potential for genetic and genome variability, is key to keep it from adapting to life in the research laboratory and losing relevance to the significant impact it has on global food security.
