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 wilt causes destructive effects on Vicia faba (VF). This study is innovative because it evaluates the comparative effects of various biological treatments on different VF cultivars to determine the therapeutic potential of each treatment against Fusarium wilt. In this study, the suppression of F. verticillioides (FV) by Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma harzianum was compared at both the pot level and in vitro. The findings indicated that both B. subtilis and T. harzianum have antifungal effects on F. verticillioides in vitro, exhibiting mycelium inhibition percentages of 45.88% and 68.20%. Our results showed that treatments with T. harzianum significantly reduced the disease incidence (DI) in both the V. faba 'Giza-716' (G) and 'Sakha-101' (S) cultivars, providing comparable protection at 70.58% and 72.22%, respectively. After the afflicted plant received biological therapies, a notable increase in all yield components was observed. The G and S cultivars treated with T. harzianum exhibited the highest PPO activity, measuring 116.70% and 227.70%. The S cultivar treated with T. harzianum showed the highest POD activity at 289.60%. In conclusion, T. harzianum and B. subtilis as potential bio pesticides exhibited high efficacy against F. verticillioides, which causes wilt in several Vicia faba cultivars, due to their effectiveness and environmental friendliness.
