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

Oil tea (Camellia oleifera), as one of the four major woody oilseed crops, possesses considerable economic and medicinal significance. The distinctive geographical and climatic conditions of Sichuan Province provide an ideal environment for the growth of C. oleifera, making it a major hub for the C. oleifera industry. However, in recent years, it has suffered severe fungal disease outbreaks, particularly those caused by Pestalotiopsis and Neopestalotiopsis, which infect a wide range of hosts. From August 2023 to May 2024, a comprehensive survey of 66.67 hectares of Camellia oleifera plantations in Sichuan was conducted to identify fungal pathogens. By integrating morphological characterization and phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1-α), and beta-tubulin (tub2) genes, three pestalotioid species were identified. Among these, N. folii was identified as a novel pathogenic fungus. Furthermore, two new host records were established for P. trachycarpicola and P. hispanica on C. oleifera. Pathogenicity tests following Koch's postulates confirmed strain virulence and revealed variations in pathogenic effects. This study formally recognizes N. folii as a novel species, enhancing current knowledge of pestalotioid fungi associated with C. oleifera.
