Pepino Mosaic Virus: A Globally Important Tomato Pathogen and a Rising Model in Molecular Virology.
Review in Molecular plant pathology, 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
taxonomyPepino mosaic virus (PepMV); species: Potexvirus pepini; family: Alphaflexiviridae; order: Tymovirales. VIRION AND GENOME PROPERTIES: PepMV virions are rod-shaped, non-enveloped, and flexuous particles. They encapsidate a monopartite, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome of approximately 6.4 kb, that encodes, in the sense orientation, a replicase, three triple gene block proteins, and the coat protein. HOST RANGE: PepMV is widespread and causes a major disease in intensive tomato crops. Natural infections have also been reported in kachuma (also known as cachum or pepino dulce; Solanum muricatum), basil, wild tomato species, and weeds from various families growing near affected tomato crops. Experimentally, PepMV can infect plants of virtually all Solanaceae species. DIVERSITY: Seven genetic types of PepMV are currently recognised: the original Peruvian (LP), European (EU), American US1, American US2, Chilean (CH2), the new Peruvian (PES), and Europe and the Asia-Pacific region (EAP). TRANSMISSION: PepMV is efficiently transmitted through mechanical means and shows a low rate of seed transmission. Insects, contaminated water, and agricultural tools have also been implicated in viral spread. SYMPTOMATOLOGY: PepMV infections can range from asymptomatic to severe. Common symptoms in tomato plants include leaf blistering, chlorosis, mosaic patterns, and fruit bleaching, flaming, and marbling. Severe cases may exhibit necrosis in leaves, stems, and fruits. Symptom severity depends on the viral isolate, tomato cultivar, timing of infection, and environmental conditions. CONTROL: No PepMV-resistant tomato varieties are currently available commercially. Therefore, preventive measures are commonly used strategies against PepMV. Cross-protection has proven highly effective and is widely employed for disease management.
