Effect of low-dose gamma irradiation on seed-borne transmission of tomato brown rugose fruit virus in tomato.

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
Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV), a highly virulent tobamovirus, poses a major threat to global tomato production by overcoming host resistance and traditional control measures. This study evaluates the efficacy of low-dose gamma irradiation (10, 15, and 20 Gy) in reducing ToBRFV contamination in tomato seeds. Contaminated seeds were irradiated and assessed for germination rate, chlorophyll content, stem diameter, and viral accumulation with RT-qPCR. The potential synergistic effect of combining 15 Gy gamma irradiation with 2.5 % sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) was also investigated. Results revealed that 15 Gy significantly improved germination, enhanced chlorophyll levels, and increased stem thickness, while substantially reducing viral replication. In contrast, 20 Gy had detrimental effects on both plant growth and viral suppression. The combination of 15 Gy and NaOCl further decreased viral accumulation, though at the cost of reduced germination rates. Applying 15 Gy confers dual benefits, including effective seed disinfection and improved host resistance. It shows strong potential for use in integrated tomato disease management in greenhouse and field conditions.
