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

backgroundGrapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) threaten vineyard longevity by reducing the yield and phytosanitary quality of propagation material from rootstock mother vines. The optimal age for replacing mother blocks to mitigate these risks is unclear. This study evaluated the effects of mother block age on the physiological, morphological, and infection status of mother vines and one-year-old canes produced by it.

resultsCane morphology and physiology were highly variable, influenced by rootstock and season, with no consistent association with mother block age. Grapevine trunk disease incidence was widespread in mother vine heads, dominated by Celotheliaceae and Botryosphaeriaceae, with incidences up to 84-90%. One-year-old canes generally showed lower infection rates, though Botryosphaeriaceae and Celotheliaceae reached 28% and 2%, with DNA concentrations up to 3171 and 1055 ng μL

conclusionMother block age minimally influenced cane physiology or morphology. However, high GTD prevalence in mother vine heads poses systemic infection risks and reduces cane quality. Monitoring and management of GTD pathogens in rootstock mother blocks are essential to maintain the health and productivity of propagation material and ensure vineyard longevity. © 2025 The Author(s).
