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

The orchid trade is a significant global industry, with annual sales of approximately USD 2 billion. Orchids rank among the most important potted plants sold in Brazil. Cattleya is one of the most widely cultivated Brazilian orchid genera, with some species threatened with extinction. Despite their economic relevance, the etiology of many orchid diseases remains unknown. One of these diseases is the pseudobulb dieback observed in Cattleya species in orchid nurseries in Goiânia municipality, Goiás state in Brazil. Symptomatic plants of C. amethystoglossa, C. guttata, and C. nobilior exhibited necrosis at the pseudobulb apex, premature leaf drop, and downward lesion progression. Isolates were morphologically identified as belonging to Neoscytalidium (Botryosphaeriaceae) and Lasiodiplodia (Botryosphaeriaceae). To confirm the disease etiology, pathogenicity tests were performed with each isolate. Multilocus phylogenetic analysis identified four isolates as Neoscytalidium dimidiatum (from C. amethystoglossa), N. dimidiatum (from C. guttata) and two isolates of Lasiodiplodia euphorbiaceicola (from C. nobilior). All isolates induced dieback symptoms, and reisolations confirmed pathogenicity, fulfilling Koch’s postulates. This is the first report of L. euphorbiaceicola worldwide and N. dimidiatum in Brazil causing dieback disease in Cattleya spp.
