Fermented botanical product supports lignin development and suppresses soil-borne pathogens.
Article in BMC research notes, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveSoil-borne plant pathogens are a significant cause of economic loss in global agriculture. In a previous study, fermented botanical product (FBP) treatment was shown to suppress bacterial wilt disease caused by Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum (Rps) in tomatoes. This study evaluated whether treatment with FBP suppresses soil‑borne bacterial pathogens and induces host plant defense responses.
resultsSeedlings of three Solanaceae species and nine families of plants treated with water or FBP for 48 h were inoculated with Rps and wilting symptoms were compared 14 days post inoculation. FBP treated plants showed an increase in the number of individuals without wilting symptoms and a decrease in the number of dead individuals. In addition, inoculation with C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis, which belongs to the same soil-borne bacterial disease group, showed similar suppression in tomatoes treated with FBP. To further confirm the root defense response to FBP treatment, we analyzed the amount of lignin, which is known to be a physical barrier against pathogens, and found that FBP application increased the amount of lignin in Solanaceae plants. These results suggest that FBP suppress soil-borne bacterial diseases by supporting lignin development.
