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

In forest nurseries, maintaining plant health is essential for producing high-quality seedlings. Effective sanitary management relies on continuous monitoring throughout the crop cycle. Powdery mildew, caused by fungi in the Erysiphaceae family, extracts nutritional plant reserves, thus reducing its productive potential and causing significant economic losses due to lower yield and quality. Although Erysiphaceae has not been yet studied in some natural ecosystems, such as the Chaco region of Argentina, information from these natural ecosystems is critical. This research aimed to comprehensively study Pleochaeta prosopidis isolates from Neltuma alba and to assess the relationship between disease incidence and seedling quality in nursery conditions. This pathogen exhibited a partially endoparasitic life cycle, causing damage to the mesophyll of infected leaves. The phylogenetic analysis of the 28S rDNA sequences from N. alba seedlings with powdery mildew signs grouped with the reference sequence corresponding to Pl. prosopidis. The highest levels of disease incidence and severity occurred during winter and in plants kept in the nursery for over nine months (p < 0.001). Infected seedlings showed a significant reduction in height and diameter at neck height (p < 0.007), indicating a clear decline in quality. This study provides the first comprehensive description of Pl. prosopidis in N. alba, highlighting its impact on seedling development and nursery productivity.
