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

backgroundAnoectochilus formosanus Hayata, a valuable medicinal herb. However, its quality and yield are severely compromised by stem rot disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum. Although this disease is commonly controlled with synthetic fungicides, their application poses environmental and health risks. Botanical fungicides, particularly plant extracts, offer safer alternatives.

resultsIn this study, the extracts from Rosmarinus officinalis L. 'Severn Sea' and 'Majorca Pink' significantly inhibited F. oxysporum growth in vitro and mitigated stem rot symptoms in vivo. In addition, in vivo experiments showed that rosemary EEs increased stem weight and significantly reduced MDA and POD levels in susceptible plants. This is likely through upregulation of cathepsin F, calmodulin, and MAPK gene expression at the mRNA level.

conclusionsThis study confirmed the in vitro antifungal activity of R. officinalis ethanolic extracts (EEs) against F. oxysporum as well as their in vivo immunoregulatory effects in A. formosanus. These findings highlight the potential of R. officinalis EEs for the development of botanical fungicides.
