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

Mulberry (Morus spp.), an economically important tree in China, is susceptible to systemic viral infections. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) of mosaic-symptomatic leaves, combined with RT-PCR and RACE, yielded the complete genome (8,707 nt) of virus. BLASTN analysis showed 70.3% identity with citrus leaf blotch virus-2 (CLBV-2) at the genome level, and the virus was tentatively classified as mulberry leaf blotch virus (MLBV) within the genus Citrivirus. Phylogenetic analysis clustered MLBV with CLBV-2, while divergence in the 5′ and 3′ UTRs suggests lineage-specific variation. Together, these findings suggest that MLBV represents a distinct Citrivirus species infecting mulberry.
