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

Fusarium fungi cause Fusarium head blight (FHB) in oats, reducing yield and contaminating grains with harmful trichothecene mycotoxins. FHB symptoms in oats are often not visually distinct, necessitating alternative detection methods. We developed digital PCR (dPCR) assays as the most accurate DNA-based method to detect trichothecene-producing Fusarium species commonly found in oats. Building on existing quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays, we developed dPCR assays targeting all trichothecene producers (the Tri5 gene), or specific to F. langsethiae (Fl), F. poae (Fp), and F. sporotrichioides (Fs). All targeted single copy genes, except F. poae which targeted rDNA which is a variable and multi-copy target (and hence not as reliable as the other assays for quantification). Optimized dPCR assays showed excellent linearity (R
