1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Many phytopathogenic fungi cause a variety of plant diseases which can seriously damage a number of significant crops worldwide. In agricultural and food safety, nanomaterials have become significant for the development of novel antifungal agents that exhibit greater efficacy at lower concentrations than chemical fungicides. In this research, boron/selenium nanoparticles (B/Se NPs) were synthesized via radical polymerization using polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and tested for their inhibitory effect against two phytopathogenic fungi, Alternaria alternata and Fusarium equiseti, isolated from diseased rice plants and identified morphologically and molecularly. The nanostructure of PVP-loaded B/Se core shell was prepared and confirmed using HRTEM. The size distribution for the nanoparticles ranges between 8.74 and 12.23 nm. The morphology was shown via SEM imaging for the PVP-loaded B/Se sample in cross-section mode. Moreover, their elemental composition analysis was achieved via EDS, and functional structure was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. The strong antifungal activity of B/Se NPs was against A. alternata (49 ± 0.57 mm) with MIC of 3.125/0.938 mg mL
