Pathogens without borders: a review on cross-kingdom transmission strategies and pathogenicity of plant and human pathogens.
Review in Archives of microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Emerging evidence indicates that certain plant pathogens-once thought to be restricted to the plant kingdom-can opportunistically infect humans, particularly those who are immunocompromised. This paradigm-shifting recognition of cross-kingdom pathogenicity underscores complex microbial adaptability and highlights an underexplored public health concern. This review is a compilation of current knowledge on bacterial (Pantoea, Burkholderia, Agrobacterium), fungal (Fusarium, Aspergillus, Curvularia), and viral (e.g., TMV, PMMoV) plant pathogens implicated in human disease. Shared eukaryotic cellular architecture and overlapping molecular mechanisms may facilitate pathogen spillover across kingdoms. Furthermore, human pathogens for instance Salmonella and Escherichia coli have been detected in the rhizosphere and phyllosphere, raising additional concerns for food safety and agricultural practices. As globalization, climate change, and immunosuppressive health conditions intensify, the likelihood of such rare but significant infections may increase. A proactive, integrative "One Health" approach-encompassing plant, human, and environmental health-is essential to anticipate, monitor, and mitigate the potential risks posed by cross-kingdom microbial transmission.
