Optimizing brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) health and yield through bio-organic amendments against Fusarium wilt.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different bio-organic treatments, including control (T0), spent mushroom substrate-SMS (T1), vermicompost (T2), poultry manure (T3), biochar (T4), SMS with biochar (T5), SMS with poultry manure (T6), and SMS with vermicompost (T7) on the management of Fusarium wilt of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.). This experiment was followed by a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) using three replications. Pathogen identification confirmed Fusarium sp. as the causal agent of wilt through morphological and pathogenicity tests. Growth attributes, yield, and disease incidence were recorded at various growth stages. The highest disease incidence was observed in the untreated control (T0), with values of 44.4%, 55.55%, and 77.77% at 25, 45, and 65 days after transplanting (DAT), respectively. In contrast, the lowest incidence was recorded in T5 (5.55%, 16.66%, and 16.66% at 25, 45, and 65 DAT), followed by T6, with both treatments showing statistically similar results. These findings were statistically significant compared to T0. The treatment of T5 significantly enhanced plant growth parameters, including plant height, number of leaves, and number of branches, alongside a substantial increase in yield (12.71 tons/ha), which was statistically similar to T6. These bio-organic amendments not only suppressed disease incidence effectively but also improved soil health, enhanced microbial diversity, and promoted vegetative growth and yield. The results indicate that the integration of SMS with Biochar or Poultry Manure is a sustainable and eco-friendly strategy for managing Fusarium wilt in brinjal cultivation, potentially replacing conventional chemical methods for enhanced productivity and soil health.
