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

backgroundTurnip yellows virus (TuYV) is a phloem-limited virus transmitted by Myzus persicae (green peach aphid) that causes substantial yield loss in canola (Brassica napus). In Australia, TuYV control has relied upon neonicotinoid seed treatments (NSTs) and foliar insecticides, but their effectiveness is questionable. Most local cultivars are susceptible to TuYV, though the cultivar Stingray carries partial resistance that has not been rigorously tested in the field. This study evaluated NSTs, three foliar insecticide timings, and Stingray's partial resistance for TuYV management.

resultsFour field experiments were conducted in which primary infection was simulated by transplanting TuYV-infected, M. persicae-infested canola plants. Aphid populations and TuYV incidence were assessed every 14 days after aphid release up until 42-70 days. NSTs provided no significant reduction of aphid infestation or TuYV spread. Foliar insecticides applied 3 days before aphid release reduced M. persicae infestation, but only mildly limited TuYV spread. A foliar insecticide applied 2 weeks after aphid release provided stronger aphid control translating into significant suppression of TuYV spread, but if delayed to 4 weeks after aphid release achieved only minimal late suppression of TuYV spread. In contrast to insecticide application, resistance in Stingray consistently provided robust suppression of TuYV.

conclusionTuYV control tactics targeting its vector need to be highly robust; NSTs are insufficient, and foliar insecticide effectiveness depends on precise timing. Incorporating resistance into commercial cultivars will provide a stronger foundation for TuYV management and reduce reliance on insecticides. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
