Revealing real-time 3D in vivo pathogen dynamics in plants by label-free optical coherence tomography.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. 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
Microscopic imaging for studying plant-pathogen interactions is limited by its reliance on invasive histological techniques, like clearing and staining, or, for in vivo imaging, on complicated generation of transgenic pathogens. We present real-time 3D in vivo visualization of pathogen dynamics with label-free optical coherence tomography. Based on intrinsic signal fluctuations as tissue contrast we image filamentous pathogens and a nematode in vivo in 3D in plant tissue. We analyze 3D images of lettuce downy mildew infection (Bremia lactucae) to obtain hyphal volume and length in three different lettuce genotypes with different resistance levels showing the ability for precise (micro) phenotyping and quantification of the infection level. In addition, we demonstrate in vivo longitudinal imaging of the growth of individual pathogen (sub)structures with functional contrast on the pathogen micro-activity revealing pathogen vitality thereby opening a window on the underlying molecular processes.
