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

Aspergillus flavus infenction of crops, which are common worldwide, are a significant threat to human and animal health. In this study, the antagonistic effects of Pantoea vagans strain BWL1 on A. flavus were analyzed. BWL1 effectively inhibited A. flavusconidial germination, vegetative growth, and sporulation. Notably, A. flavus infections and aflatoxin contents decreased in peanut and maize samples treated with BWL1. A GC-MS analysis and a two-sealed-base-plates assay showed that BWL1 can produce several antifungal volatiles, including 2,5-dimethyl-pyrazine, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, hexamethyl-cyclotrisiloxane, phenylethyl alcohol, 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol, pentadecane, tetradecane, heptadecane, and n-hexadecanoic acid, with MICs of 0.2, 0.8, 16, 0.8, 0.2, 8, 8, 8, and 8 g/L, respectively. Among these volatiles, 2,5-dimethyl-pyrazine, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, phenylethyl alcohol, and 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol had substantial inhibitory effects on A. flavus infection of peanuts and maize kernels. The study findings suggest that P. vagans BWL1 may be an potential biocontrol agent for the postharvest management of A. flavus in crops. This is the first report regarding the antifungal effects of P. vagans BWL1 on A. flavus.
