Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Analysis of Watermelon Mosaic Virus in Türkiye: Insights into Emerging and Classic Populations.
Article in Current microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV, genus Potyvirus) is a significant pathogen affecting cucurbit production in the Western Black Sea and Central Anatolia regions of Türkiye, with limited knowledge of its genetic diversity hindering molecular control strategies. In this study, 19 complete coat protein (CP) gene sequences from WMV isolates collected from four cucurbit species were analyzed using RT-PCR, MEGA11 for phylogenetics, and DnaSP v6.12.03 for population genetics. The phylogenetic analysis, including 48 global isolates, classified eight Turkish isolates into the "emerging" (EM) group, 11 into the "classic" (G1) group, and identified a novel minor phylogroup. While a recombination signal was detected in isolate KP164988, none was observed in the Turkish isolates. Genetic diversity analysis showed that the G1 group was less divergent than the EM group, with all populations under strong purifying selection (ω = 0.022-0.243) and displaying recent expansion, likely due to variations in newly reported isolates. The results emphasize the genetic separation between EM and G1 groups and reveal frequent gene flow between Turkish and global populations. This comprehensive survey provides valuable insights into the genetic structure and diversity of WMV in Türkiye, supporting other reports on minor phylogroups within the virus populations.
