Quantifying resistance to very-long-chain fatty acid-inhibiting herbicides in Amaranthus tuberculatus using a soilless assay.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Resistance to preemergence (PRE) soil-applied herbicides, such as inhibitors of very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) elongases, was documented in two waterhemp [Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) J.D. Sauer] populations (SIR and CHR) from Illinois, USA. To limit the spread of resistant weed populations, rapid detection measures are necessary. Soil-based resistance assays are limited by edaphic factors, application timing, variable seeding depth and rainfall amount. Therefore, cost-effective techniques mitigating effects of edaphic factors that are appropriate for small- to large-scale assays are needed. Our research goal was to identify and quantify resistance to the VLCFA-inhibiting herbicides, S-metolachlor and pyroxasulfone, using a soilless greenhouse assay. Dose-response experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditions with pre-germinated waterhemp seeds planted on the vermiculite surface, which had been saturated with S-metolachlor (0.015-15 μM), pyroxasulfone (0.0005-1.5 μM), or S-metolachlor plus the cytochrome P450 (P450) inhibitor, malathion. Lethal dose estimates of 50% (LD50) and growth reduction of 50% (GR50) were calculated for S-metolachlor and pyroxasulfone PRE and used to determine resistance indices (RI) for resistant populations (CHR and SIR) relative to sensitive populations, SEN and ACR. RI values for S-metolachlor using LD50 values calculated relative to SEN and ACR were 17.2 and 15.2 (CHR) or 11.5 and 10.1 (SIR), while RI values for pyroxasulfone using LD50 values calculated relative to SEN and ACR were 3.8 and 3.1 (CHR) or 4.8 and 3.8 (SIR). Malathion decreased the GR50 of S-metolachlor to a greater degree in CHR compared to ACR, consistent with P450 involvement in S-metolachlor resistance in CHR. Results from these soilless assays are in accord with previous findings in soil-based systems that demonstrate CHR and SIR are resistant to S-metolachlor and pyroxasulfone. This method provides an effective, reproducible alternative to soil-based systems for studying suspected PRE herbicide-resistant populations and will potentially assist in identifying non-target-site resistance mechanisms.
