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

Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) is a major disease impacting global sugar beet cultivation and yield. This study investigated the potential diversity of Cercospora species causing CLS in Iranian sugar beet. Fungal isolates were characterized using integrated morphological and multi-gene sequence analyses. Subsequently, the possibility of rapid and specific diagnosis of the dominant pathogen using Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) was assessed. Infected leaves were collected from Ardabil, West Azerbaijan, Khorasan Razavi, Semnan, Mazandaran, Khuzestan, and Golestan provinces across the country. Genomic regions of actA, cmdA, gapdh, his3 and tef1 were amplified and sequenced. Phylogenetic results revealed that two species, Cercospora beticola and Cercospora gamsiana, are involved in causing cercospora leaf spot of sugar beet in Iran from which C. beticola was the dominant species. The LAMP-specific primers designed based on the gapdh gene region successfully discriminated C. beticola from C. gamsiana and other Cercospora species, as well as from some other fungal genera such as, Alternaria, Cladosporium, Curvularia, Ramularia and Stemphylium. The LAMP assay in this study demonstrated a detection limit of 50 fg μL
