The Role of Phyllosphere Microbes and Viruses in Biocontrol of Pathogenic Fungi.
Review in Microbial biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The phyllosphere, the aerial surfaces of plants, represents a primary entry point for airborne fungal pathogens, posing a critical challenge to plant health and productivity. The phyllosphere hosts diverse microbial communities that play a pivotal role in suppressing foliar pathogens through complex ecological interactions. In this mini review, we synthesise recent advances in understanding how phyllosphere microbial diversity contributes to fungal pathogen suppression through multiple ecological mechanisms, including resource competition, secretion of antifungal metabolites, contact-dependent killing and activation of host immune responses. We highlight emerging evidence on the role of viruses in controlling fungal pathogens and propose a conceptual framework based on virus-mediated strategies for fungal disease control. We emphasise that better mechanistic understanding of plant-fungus-microbiota interactions is critical to developing sustainable and microbiota-based approaches for plant resilience enhancement and global food security within a One Health framework.
