The Temporal Order of Mixed Viral Infections Matters: Common Events That Are Neglected in Plant Viral Diseases.
Review in Viruses, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Mixed infections of plant viruses are common in crops and represent a critical biotic factor with substantial epidemiological implications for plant viral diseases. Compared to single-virus infections, mixed infections arise from simultaneous or sequential infections, which can inevitably affect the ecology and evolution of the diseases. These infections can either exacerbate or ameliorate symptom severity, including virus-virus interactions within the same host that may influence a range of viral traits associated with disease emergence. This underscores the need for a more comprehensive understanding of how the order of virus arrival to the host can impact plant disease dynamics. From this perspective, we reviewed the current evidence regarding the impact of mixed infections within the framework of simultaneous and sequential infections in plants, considering the mode of viral transmission. We also examined how the temporal order of mixed infections could affect the dynamics of viral populations and present a case study of two aphid-transmitted viruses infecting melon plants, suggesting that the order of virus arrival significantly affects viral load and disease outcomes. Finally, we anticipate future research that reconciles molecular epidemiology and evolutionary ecology, underlining the importance of biotic interactions in shaping viral epidemiology and plant disease dynamics in agroecosystems.
