Paramicrosphaeropsis eriobotryae as an emerging canker pathogen in pomegranate trees and the susceptibility of various cultivars.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is highly valued for its significant health benefits, adaptability, cold resistance, and ability to thrive in low-fertility soils. Iran, a major producer, contributes nearly one-fifth of global pomegranate production, with Fars Province being the leading region. Recently, there has been a notable increase in pomegranate diseases, including decline, dieback, and canker. This investigation aimed to identify the fungal pathogens responsible for these diseases in Fars Province. Morphological and molecular analyses identified several fungal isolates belonging to Paramicrosphaeropsis eriobotryae, an emerging canker-associated ascomycete pathogen. The most aggressive isolate was identified through inoculation on detached branches of the 'Rabab-e-Neyriz' cultivar and subsequently used in pathogenicity assessments on five commercially important cultivars. The 'Malas-e-Saveh' and 'Wonderful' cultivars exhibited higher susceptibility, while 'Malas-e-Danesiyah-e-Esfahani' cultivar demonstrated relative resistance. Cross-pathogenicity assessments with isolates from pomegranate and other natural hosts, including fig, loquat, almond, and olive indicated diverse levels of host susceptibility and isolate aggressiveness. This study represents the first global report of P. eriobotryae causing branch canker and dieback on pomegranate trees.
