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

The presence of fastidious phytopathogenic bacteria 'Candidatus Arsenophonus phytopathogenicus' and 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani' challenges sugar beet cultivation in Austria. Reptalus artemisiae (Becker, 1865) (referred before as Reptalus quinquecostatus sensu Holzinger et al. 2003) is the principal vector of 'Ca. P. solani' to sugar beet in Serbia, while Pentastiridius leporinus is the primary vector of 'Ca. A. phytopathogenicus' in western Europe and can also transmit 'Ca. P. solani'. This study investigates the epidemiology of the associated diseases in Austrian sugar beet fields. An extensive survey in 2024 at 33 locations revealed significant spatial and temporal variability in cixiid populations, with R. artemisiae emerging as the predominant species. Transmission trials and field surveys confirmed R. artemisiae as a vector of 'Ca. A. phytopathogenicus' and 'Ca. P. solani' 16SrXII-P driving a disease outbreak in Nikitsch. The predominance of R. artemisiae in nearly all monitored fields suggests its significant role in the pathogens' epidemiology on a broader scale in the Pannonian plain. Spatial and temporal variations in pathogen incidence in Austrian sugar beet mirror patterns in Serbia, driven by R. artemisiae. The co-occurrence of 'Ca. A. phytopathogenicus' and 'Ca. P. solani' 16SrXII-A and 16SrXII-P and their transmission by two vectors complicate disease management efforts.
