Purpureocillium lilacinum for plant growth promotion and biocontrol against root-knot nematodes infecting eggplant.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
Purpureocillium lilacinum is a biocontrol Ascomycota fungus against various plant pathogens. In the present study, the efficacy of P. lilacinum was evaluated against a root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita that infects eggplants. We performed an in vitro experiment in which the direct effects of P. lilacinum on the second-stage juvenile survival and egg hatching of M. incognita were tested at different exposure times. The results showed that P. lilacinum significantly reduced the rates of egg hatching and juvenile survival in a dose-dependent manner. Microscopic observation demonstrated that P. lilacinum directly penetrated the eggs and contacted the juveniles, indicating how P. lilacinum parasitizes M. incognita. We also performed a pot assay in which soil-grown eggplants were treated with P. lilacinum followed by inoculation with M. incognita. The results indicated that P. lilacinum effectively reduced the nematode population and the number of galls in plant roots. Interestingly, application of P. lilacinum resulted in significant enhancements in plant growth and biomass, even under nematode infection, while it improved plant photosynthetic pigments, i.e., chlorophyll and carotenoids. Taken together, our study suggested that P. lilacinum can be used as a plant growth-promoting fungus and a biological nematicide for disease management of root-knot nematodes in eggplants.
