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

The environment faces serious threats from climate change, food security challenges, and a growing population. The UN Global Goals emphasize the urgent need for sustainable agriculture to secure food production. We must adopt innovative solutions to bolster agroecological resilience and increase food output with minimal environmental impact. Here, we investigate the antimycotic properties of silver nanoparticles (PP-AgNPs) at various concentrations in controlling Fusarium wilt for tomato crop improvement under laboratory, greenhouse, and field conditions. Various instruments were utilized to characterize the green-synthesized PP-AgNPs. The results indicated a broad UV peak at 428 nm and a spherical morphology with sizes ranging from 1 to 3.5 nm, as confirmed by SEM and TEM. Analyses indicate that the antifungal potency of PP-AgNPs (150 µg/mL) against Fusarium oxysporum was found to be 80.9% (Colony diameter: D
