1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 causing huge losses in crops are being controlled by using synthetic fungicides. However, improper or excessive use of these products can negatively impact both crop productivity and overall plant health. There are many successful attempts regarding the isolation of natural plant-based fungicides, but such reports are missing for Dryopteris nigropaleacea. Herein, the antifungal activity of rhizomes extract of D. nigropaleacea was investigated against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL) in 96-well microtiter plate method. Furthermore, antifungal compounds were isolated with the help of thin layer chromatography (TLC), column chromatography (CC), and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The structures of these compounds were elucidated by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and modes of action of purified compounds in terms of relative electrical conductivity (REC) and ergosterol contents of FOL were investigated. In total, 3 compounds were isolated and identified from the rhizomes of D. nigropaleacea viz., eriodictyol, esculetin and dihydroconiferyl alcohol, exhibiting MIC values of 134.44, 17.78, and 4.44 µg mL− 1, respectively. On the other hand, commercial fungicide ketoconazole, exhibited MIC value of 4.44 µg mL− 1 against FOL. In modes of action studies, dihydroconiferyl alcohol exhibited the highest REC (201.7%) and the lowest ergosterol contents (81.3%) at MIC, but lower than the reference compound, ketoconazole. The present study implies that the antifungal compounds from the rhizomes of D. nigropaleacea can be used as lead compounds to synthesize natural antifungal molecules.
