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

Camellia oleifera and Elaeocarpus decipiens are significant economic crops in South China. However, their production is severely impacted by diseases caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides or Pseudocryphonectria elaeocarpicola, respectively. The phyllosphere microbiota of diseased plants represents an underexplored reservoir of functional microorganisms with bioactive potential. However, no prior studies have investigated antagonistic microorganisms from these communities against both pathogens. In this study, 45 fungal strains were isolated from six species of diseased plants in southern China. Their ability to produce secondary metabolites was evaluated using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), leading to the selection of 20 strains with complex and unique chromatographic profiles as bioactive candidates. Dual-culture assays revealed that nine strains exhibited significant antagonism against C. gloeosporioides, producing extracellular antifungal metabolites with maximum antagonistic index of 218.64 ± 26.36% and inhibition rate of 57.92 ± 0.77%. Eight strains showed marked antagonistic activity against P. elaeocarpicola, also secreting antifungal compounds, with maximum antagonistic index of 106.66 ± 16.83 and inhibition rate of 74.99 ± 0.23%. Notably, strains DP13, DP14, and DP16 strongly inhibited both pathogens. Phylogenetic analysis identified the nine highly antagonistic strains as Diaporthe sp. (DP13), Chaetomium globosum (DP14), Muyocopron dipterocarpi (DP15), Muyocopron lithocarpi (DP16), Fusarium equiseti (DP20), Neopestalotiopsis sp. (DP28), Fusarium lateritium (DP32, DP33), and Diaporthe heliconiae (DP43). This study provides insights into exploring functional microorganisms from diseased phyllosphere microbiota and offers valuable resources for eco-friendly management of camellia anthracnose and Elaeocarpus blight, with DP13, DP14, and DP16 as promising broad-spectrum biocontrol candidates.
