In-Field Detection of Plant Pathogens Using Three-Dimensional-Printed Microneedles and a Portable Platform.
Article in ACS sensors, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Plant diseases threaten global food security, necessitating efficient, field-deployable diagnostics. Traditional approaches, including morphological assessments and conventional sampling methods such as swabs or multistep DNA extraction, are often unreliable in the early stages of infection when visible symptoms are absent and subsurface pathogens remain inaccessible, underscoring the need for molecular tools. Here, we present a microneedle (MN)-based diagnostic platform integrated with loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and lateral flow assay (LFA), supported by a custom-built portable heater (LAMPbox). The MNs enable the direct extraction of plant fluids and associated pathogens, offering a rapid, simple, and efficient sampling approach. In this study, two MN types were evaluated: poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and stereolithography-printed MNs fabricated from a plant-derived resin. The 3D-printed MNs exhibited superior mechanical robustness, with a displacement ratio of only 3.3% compared to 24.5% for PVA MNs, and provided an ∼12% higher DNA yield than conventional swab-based methods. Integrated with the LAMPbox, this platform enabled reliable detection of
