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

Mandariviruses pose a significant threat to the citrus industry due to their diverse transmission modes and high pathogenicity. However, the pathogenicity mechanisms of mandariviruses remain largely unknown, especially as there is a complete lack of understanding regarding the function of the cysteine-rich proteins (CRPs) encoded by mandariviruses during infection. In this study, ectopic expression of two mandarivirus CRPs from citrus yellow mottle-associated virus (CiYMaV) and citrus yellow vein clearing virus (CYVCV) using a potato virus X vector resulted in severe symptoms and increased viral accumulation in IMPORTANCE: Mandariviruses, infecting a wide range of citrus varieties, cause serious epidemics in Pakistan, India, Turkey, China, Iran, Italy, and America. However, little information is available about pathogenicity mechanisms of mandariviruses. Here, we confirmed the importance of two mandarivirus CRPs of citrus yellow mottle-associated virus (CiYMaV) and citrus yellow vein clearing virus (CYVCV) in disease symptom development and viral accumulation in citrus plants. Our study first provides evidence that CiYMaV and CYVCV CRPs, nonstructural proteins, act as pathogenicity determinants with multiple functions. This offers a broad understanding of functional repertoire within the mandariviruses proteome. Further investigation of the underlying mechanisms of how CRP, as a virulence factor, modulates plant immunity may suggest a possible new strategy for combating mandarivirus infection in the field.
