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

Potato tubers collected from different areas showed the prevalence of dry rot with characteristic white mycelia like symptoms of Fusarium pathogen. Fusarium species from diseased tubers were isolated based on morphological features. 18 S-Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) and Translation Elongation factor 1-α (TEF1-α) based analysis followed by phylogenetic tree constructed using ITS, TEF1-α and RNA polymerase II subunit B (RPB2) identified Fusarium isolates as Fusarium verticilloides, Fusarium soloni, Fusarium falciforme and Fusarium oxysporum. According to our knowledge, this study is the first report of the occurrence of Fusarium falciforme causing dry rot on potato tubers in Pakistan. The pathogenicity test confirmed the re-appearance of dry rot symptoms with Fusarium falciforme on potato tuber. The formation of Fusarium falciforme Ag NPs was confirmed using UV-Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis. The synthesized Ag NPs showed color change with Fusarium falciforme and accordingly, UV peak was observed at 431 nm. The XRD revealed Ag based specific angles at 36.14°, 44.26°, 64.42° and 77.44° corresponding to face cubic structure. Similarly, FTIR band absorption at 3297 cm
