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

Background: Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Objective: This study aimed to investigate the antagonistic potential of Methods: Antagonistic activity was assessed via dual-culture and pot experiments with wheat seedlings under four treatments: control (CK), Th, Fg, and dual inoculation (Th-Fg). Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) data were aligned to the genomes of Fg, Trichoderma guizhouense (as a proxy for Th), and Results: Both assays showed Th strongly inhibited Fg growth. RNA-seq revealed that under Th pressure (Fg vs. Th-Fg), Fg exhibited widespread transcriptional suppression, with 608 DEGs downregulated and enriched in carbohydrate metabolism, indicating disrupted nutrient acquisition. Th itself showed minimal transcriptional changes (Th vs. Th-Fg), suggesting a resource-efficient strategy. Fg infection (CK vs. Fg) suppressed wheat photosynthesis and carbon metabolism, while Th inoculation (CK vs. Th) primed defense pathways. In the dual inoculation, Th alleviated Fg-induced suppression and enhanced wheat defense and physiological gene expression. qRT-PCR validated the RNA-seq reliability. Conclusion:
