Article in Biotechnology letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The fungal contaminated crops or post-harvest products are unfit for consumption, hazardous to human health and threat to food safety. Soil borne phytopathogenic microbes cause severe yield losses at various stages and contribute to 40-50% crop mortality. Post-harvest fungal deterioration during storage is frequently observed primarily because of high oil content. At present, chemical disinfectants and agrichemicals are extensively used to control seed contaminating fungal infection as seed priming agent and/or post-harvest storage protectants. However, application of synthetic fungicides requires experimental evaluation of several parameters and raised serious concerns about emergence of fungicide resistance. On this streak, natural anti-microbial agents such as microbial secondary metabolites are preferred as eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative for seed protection. For this purpose, the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol can warrant potential benefit for seed priming over chemical fungicides. In the present study, it showed maximum inhibitory activity against aflatoxin producing Aspergillus flavus as well as other phytopathogenic fungi viz. Ustilago maydis, Fusarium oxysporum, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Colletotrichum circinans and Colletotrichum dematium. It was therefore explored for seed priming of groundnut for repressed proliferation of mycotoxin producing A. flavus. Under pot experiments, 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol primed seeds showed long-term post-harvest preservation, enhanced seed germination and growth indices as compared to methanol primed and non-primed seeds. 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol priming is therefore, proposed as a low-cost, dual-benefit seed storage protectant for control of post-harvest fungal deterioration of oilseeds as well as a phytostimulant for enhanced plant growth in field after long-term storage.
