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

Effective weed management remains a crucial concern in agriculture. The quest for alternatives to conventional herbicides, driven by limitations and drawbacks, presents a challenge today in terms of efficacy, costs, safety, and weed resistance. Accordingly, new strategies of integrating multiple approaches are emerging. Within this landscape, the utilization of bioherbicides, sourced from microorganisms or plants, holds a prominent place. This perspective paper proposes and discusses the potential of an innovative approach that combines live microorganisms and botanical components in synbiotic formulations to develop the next generation of bioherbicides as a promising solution for sustainable weed management. Their mixture may provide superior efficacy than when each is used individually, due to synergistic interactions arising from complementary and/or cooperative effects. It also addresses strategy design, formulation, and product control while presenting the challenges and potential risks of such concept.
