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

This article reviews sustainable strategies to control postharvest fungal decay (e.g., Botrytis cinerea, Alternaria spp., and Colletotrichum gloeosporioide) in tomato. Eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic fungicides, focusing on microbial antagonists, and integrated approaches combining biological control with natural compounds, are discussed. Emerging technologies like microbial consortia, nanomaterials, and CRISPR/Cas9 show great potential, though further research and regulatory approval are required. These sustainable methods are crucial for maintaining tomato quality and yield while supporting environmentally responsible production.
