Design and Validation of Specific qPCR Primers for Soil-Borne and Apple Tree-Associated Phytopathogenic Fungi.

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
Soil-borne pathogenic fungi cause substantial economic losses worldwide by infecting the underground parts of plants. In fruit trees, infections are especially damaging, as they often result in the death of the entire plant. Therefore, early detection is essential for effective disease management caused by soil-borne pathogens. In this study, we designed and validated real-time PCR primers targeting eight soil-borne and apple tree-associated phytopathogenic fungi. Each primer set successfully detected 20 ng of target genomic DNA (gDNA) within 25 cycles, while the same amount of non-target gDNA mixture was detected only after 35 cycles of amplification. Moreover, target DNA amplification remained unaffected in the presence of mixed non-target gDNA background, confirming the high specificity of the primers. Sensitivity test showed that 1 fg of plasmid DNA, corresponding to about 290 copies, was detectable around 30 cycles with all primer sets. These primers support accurate pathogen detection and early diagnosis in various environmental samples.
