A novel partitivirus confers dual contradictory effects to its host fungus: growth attenuation and virulence enhancement.

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
Mycoviruses possess a potential role for biological control due to their ability to reduce both virulence and vegetative growth in some phytopathogenic fungi. However, mycoviruses that enhance fungal pathogenicity have been poorly studied and characterized. In this study, a novel double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) fungal virus, tentatively named Sinodiscula camellicola partitivirus 1 (ScPV1), was identified in the phytopathogenic fungus IMPORTANCE: Here, we identified a novel partitivirus, tentatively named Sinodiscula camellicola partitivirus 1 (ScPV1), marking the first report of a partitivirus from a phytopathogenic fungus infecting tea plants. ScPV1 is characterized by possession of two dsRNA genomic components encapsidated in particles of varying sizes, along with an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase protein of an expected size, which contained some unique amino acids, indicating its distinct molecular and morphological traits. Biological tests on transfectants generated following protoplast infection with purified virions demonstrated that ScPV1 impairs vegetative growth while enhancing virulence in its fungal host. This finding represents the first instance of a mycovirus responsible for hypervirulence on a phytopathogenic fungus through virion transfection, as well as the first case of a partitivirus conferring hypervirulence while reducing vegetative growth in a phytopathogenic fungus. We anticipate that these findings will significantly advance our understanding of the complex interactions between mycoviruses and their host fungi.
