Inhibitory Effects of Garlic Extract on Hop Stunt Viroid in Micropropagated Grapevine Plantlets.
Article in The plant pathology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Hop stunt viroid (HSVd) is a major pathogen that affects grapevine health and causes substantial economic losses in grape cultivation. Many studies have been conducted to control grapevine diseases, but effective control methods after plant infections remain lacking. This study aimed to assess the antiviral potential of garlic extract, a natural substance that inhibits HSVds in grapevine plants after micropropagation. Garlic extract was diluted 1,000-fold and applied to grapevine plants, and its effect on HSVd accumulation was evaluated using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and digital PCR. The results showed that HSVd accumulation was significantly reduced, with an inhibition rate of 74.45%; meanwhile, higher garlic extract concentrations resulted in contamination and plant damage. Nanopore sequencing confirmed that the integrity of the HSVd genome was compromised after treatment. Furthermore, garlic extract inhibited the HSVd and promoted plant growth by enhancing shoot and root development. Additionally, inhibition of the HSVd was sustained in regenerated grapevine plants. Moreover, the garlic extract showed inhibitory effects against HSVds in natural host cucumber plants. These results suggest that garlic extract could be a cost-effective and sustainable alternative for viroid control in grapevine cultivation, providing long-term protection and broader antiviral activity across plant species.
