Cultivating awareness: How botanical gardens can foster public engagement with plant pathogens.
Review in PLoS pathogens, 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
Phytopathogens are a growing global threat to food security, economies, and ecosystems, yet public awareness and policy support often lag behind scientific innovations. Despite widespread pesticide use, 20-40% of global crop yields are lost to pests and diseases (FAO). Biotechnology and novel breeding strategies provide powerful tools to counter these threats, but their deployment hinges on public trust. Here, we review the societal risks posed by phytopathogens and cultural differences in public acceptance and regulatory frameworks. We discuss key challenges in plant science communication and the importance of trusted role-model communicators, including a concrete example where science-led storytelling and participatory engagement have accelerated adoption. We further propose that Botanical Gardens can act as scalable and adoptable platforms for plant health science communication to facilitate the translation into real-world applications.
