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

Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) is caused by Cercospora canescens and is one of the most important diseases of mungbean (Vigna radiata). Cercospora leaf spot may result in economic loss in production areas. The present study investigated the potential of Bacillus velezensis S141 as a biocontrol agent for C. canescens PAK1 growth on culture plates. Cell-free secretions from a dual culture of S141+PAK1 inhibited fungal growth more than those from a single culture of S141. The biocontrol efficiency of S141 against Cercospora leaf spot on mungbean was then evaluated by spraying. The disease severity of Cercospora leaf spot was significantly reduced in plants treated with S141, with a control efficiency of 83% after 2 days of infection. Comparative transcriptomics and qRT-PCR ana-lyses of S141 during C. canescens inhibition were performed to elucidate the antifungal mechanisms underlying its antifungal activity against Cercospora leaf spot. According to the differentially expressed genes, most up-regulated genes involved in the biosynthetic genes encoding enzymatic hydrolases, including protease, β-glucanase, and N-acyl glucosaminase, were detected in strain S141 following its interaction. Moreover, genes related to secondary metabolites (surfactin, bacilysin, and bacillomycin D) were up-regulated. Collectively, these results suggest that S141 exhibited strong antifungal activity against C. canescens due to multiple enzymatic hydrolases and secondary metabolites. Therefore, the present study provides insights into the biological network responsible for the antifungal activity of B. velezensis S141 against C. canescens.
