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

Bread and durum wheat are the most important staple crops, providing 55% of the carbohydrates and 20% of the daily caloric intake for nearly 40% of the global population. However, yield losses in durum wheat can reach up to 56% due to reductions in grain yield and agronomic traits. Local wheat production is increasingly declining because of biotic and abiotic stress. The severity of Fusarium crown and root rot diseases is influenced by cereal mono-culture, specific agronomic practices, and the cultivation of susceptible wheat cultivars. The review highlights current research on the causal agents, economic importance, and management practices of Fusarium crown and root rot diseases in North African countries. The review will contribute to the study of these diseases in wheat.
