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

Maize, a staple food and cash crop worldwide, also serves as a critical industrial raw material. However, it is significantly threatened by viral pathogens, particularly maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV), the primary cause of maize dwarf mosaic disease, a debilitating condition affecting maize cultivation. This study aims to establish a multi-gene combined RT-PCR assay for the rapid specific, sensitive, and reliable detection of MDMV without the need for special expensive equipment. Samples of imported maize, sorghum, and barley were collected from ports in Fujian and Shanghai. Primers targeting the coat protein (CP) and cytoplasmic inclusion protein (CI) genes of MDMV were designed and optimized. Through the design and screening of primers, as well as the optimization of reaction conditions and primer concentrations, a multi-gene combined RT-PCR assay was established to simultaneously detect both genes. Additionally, a real-time fluorescent-based RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) assay was developed using the CP gene to confirm the accuracy of multi-gene combined RT-PCR assay. The sensitivity of the optimized multi-gene combined RT-PCR assay enables the detection of MDMV in infected maize leaf crude extracts at dilutions of 5.37 pg/μL. This assay exhibited excellent specificity, high sensitivity, and robust repeatability, providing swift and accurate detection of MDMV. The multi-gene combined RT-PCR assay offers precise and efficient technical support for MDMV detection and contributes to improved maize production practices.
