A new method for Phytophthora cactorum culturing using host plant materials to prepare agar medium.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Phytophthora cactorum (Oomycota: Peronosporaceae), the agent of apple phytophthora rot, is known to infect over 200 plant species. Traditionally, P. cactorum is cultured in the laboratory on V8 juice agar medium. However, the use of commonly adopted materials for culturing P. cactorum is costly. Theoretically, host plant materials can be utilized to develop alternative agar media for culturing plant pathogens. However, research on utilizing host plant materials to prepare agar media for culturing P. cactorum has been limited. In this study, we employed chamber assays to identify host plant species of P. cactorum through artificial inoculation. Some of the healthy host plants were then individually selected to prepare agar media for screening. Our results demonstrate that host-derived juices, such as those from celery stems or oakleaf goosefoot leaves, support stronger sporulation capacity and higher average growth rates compared to V8 medium, suggesting that host plant tissues can be effectively used to produce agar media for culturing P. cactorum.
