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

backroundGrapevine is among the most economically important cultivated crops worldwide, yet it is increasingly threatened by the grapevine trunk disease (GTD) complex. Due to the lack of effective curative treatments for GTDs and the growing need to reduce chemical pesticide use, alternative strategies, such as the application of nanoparticles, are being investigated. In a 2-year in planta study, the inhibitory effects of four chemical compounds and one nanoparticle formulation were evaluated against three serious pathogens associated with GTD complex: Diaporthe eres Nitschke, Diplodia seriata De Not., and Eutypa lata (Pers.) Tul. & C. Tul. Selection of the chemical compounds and nanoparticles was based on their inhibitory effects observed under in vitro conditions, as previously reported.

resultsAll chemical treatments demonstrated antifungal activity, with inhibition rates ranging from 33.6% to 93.7%. Silver-selenium nanoparticles exhibited inhibitory effects specifically against D. eres and E. lata, with inhibition rates between 55.0% and 86.9%. The absence of phytotoxic effects at the applied concentrations was also confirmed for the nanoparticles used in this study.

conclusionThe experimental results demonstrate that the nanoparticles exhibit strong antifungal activity against pathogenic fungi, without causing any detectable phytotoxic effects on grapevines. These findings highlight their potential as a viable alternative to conventional chemical plant protection methods in viticulture. © 2025 The Author(s).
