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

Plant viral tropism refers to virus ability for infecting and replicating within specific cell types, tissues or hosts. Plant viral tropism is shaped by the absence of specific membrane-associated viral receptors and the supracellular nature of viral transport through plasmodesmata and vascular tissues. This review focuses on the molecular and cellular determinants of plant viral tropism, including modifications in plasmodesmal permeability, host-mediated RNA silencing, and tissue-specific viral protein localization. We discuss how certain viruses target reproductive organs, meristems, and seeds, overcoming antiviral barriers to establish persistent infections. Additionally, we explore the role of host factors in shaping viral distribution. Advances in super-resolution microscopy, single-cell transcriptomics, and proteomics have significantly expanded our ability to dissect virus-host interactions at the nanoscale, uncovering new mechanisms of viral accumulation. Understanding these processes is essential not only for improving crop resistance and designing integrated disease management strategies, but also for repurposing plant viruses as tools for targeted delivery and biotechnological applications.
