Article in Plant biotechnology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
RNA-based pesticides represent a transformative approach in agricultural disease management, offering an environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional chemical fungicides. However, key challenges such as rapid RNA degradation in the environment and inefficient uptake hinder widespread adoption. Nanocarriers have the potential to significantly enhance RNA delivery efficiency and stability, which holds great promise for developing eco-friendly strategies in crop protection. Here, we developed a novel multicomponent nano-biopesticide platform utilising novel polyethyleneimine-modified carbon dots (sCDP) for dsRNA delivery. It was demonstrated that sCDP forms stable electrostatic complexes with dsRNA (sCDP-dsRNA), conferring dual protective advantages and enhanced RNA stability with extended foliar persistence exceeding 14 days. Moreover, the sCDP can significantly reduce the contact angle of dsRNA on the leaf surface, and the complexation of sCDP with dsRNA remarkably enhances uptake efficiency into plant leaves and pathogens' mycelium, thereby enhancing plant protection of RNA pesticides. Additionally, sCDP exhibits good biocompatibility and low toxicity against pathogens and plants. Finally, it was demonstrated that sCDP-dsRNA complexes showed significant efficacy in preventing and treating rice sheath blight, both in laboratory and field conditions. Moreover, the platform demonstrated broad-spectrum antifungal activity against four major pathogens including Aspergillus niger, Botrytis cinerea, Magnaporthe oryzae, and Phakopsora pachyr under different conditions. Thus, this nanoplatform establishes an efficient and environmentally sustainable crop protection paradigm by synergizing the precision of RNA interference with enhanced delivery capabilities.
