Effect of three plant extracts on germination, vigour index and fungal infections of six soybean varieties (Glycine max L.) cultivated in Cameroon.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
introductionSoybean seeds are affected by numerous seed-borne fungi. Seed treatment is an essential strategy for protecting plants against these fungi while improving germination rates, seedling vigour and reducing infections. This study aims to improve soybean productivity by treating seeds with plant extracts prior to sowing. METHODOLOGY: Seeds of six soybean varieties were collected at the Institute of Agricultural Research for Development (IRAD). These seeds were treated separately with the three aqueous extracts of Chenopodium ambrosioides, Cestrum nocturnum and Callistemon viminalis at concentrations of 25, 50 and 75 mg/ml for six hours. Seeds were then placed in Petri dishes to collect data on germination percentage, vigour index and infection percentage.
resultsThe results show that seeds of the SC Signal variety treated with Chenopodium ambrosioides extract at 75 mg/ml exhibited a germination rate of 95%, an infection rate of 1.67% and a vigour index of 2150. In addition, all varieties from seeds treated with the different plant extracts showed a significantly p ≤ 0.05 higher germination percentage, a lower infection rate and a higher vigour index compared with plants from untreated seeds.
conclusionThese results suggest that the use of these plant extracts can reduce soybean seed infections and improve germination rate and plant vigour index. Based on the results obtained, we recommend using Chenopodium ambrosioides extracts at a concentration of 75 mg/ml, as well as the SC Signal variety for good seed germination and vigour while reducing fungal infections.
