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

Soybean (Glycine max), a protein- and oil-rich crop, supplies approximately 80% of oil requirements globally. The crop is susceptible to a wide variety of phytopathogens, among them Colletotrichum truncatum (CT) causes pre- and post-emergence damping-off in seeds and seedlings, leading to significant yield loss in the soybean crop. Here in this study, we assess the antifungal efficacy of peppermint oil nanoemulsion (PNE) against C. truncatum and also evaluate the disease suppression potential of PNE on soybean crop through seed priming. During the evaluation of fungicidal potential, 1% treatment of PNE reduces the growth of C. truncatum by 80% under in vitro conditions. PNE treatments induce oxidative stress by ROS accumulation, as suggested by Nitro Blue Tetrazolium (NBT) staining. Consequently, this redox imbalance affects the defence mechanism, cytosolic leakage and disruption of essential cellular processes leading to cell death. During PNE stress, stress enzyme activities were suppressed, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) by 26% and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) by 63%, while oxidative stress leads to enhanced lipid peroxidation by (LPX) 22% and polyphenol oxidase (PPO), 28%. Notably, scanning electron microscopy revealed significant aberration in hyphal structure, confirming the antifungal efficacy of PNE. Moreover, GC-MS analysis of ethyl acetate extracts from treated fungal cells identified 28 compounds, including thymol, menthol, phenyl alcohol, p-menthane, phenol, 1-docosanol, and 1-octadecene, present at elevated levels, related to antifungal activity. In addition, the nurturing effect of PNE was evaluated by a seed germination assay; PNE-treated seeds showed improved seed germination compared to Pathogen alone-infected samples. These findings suggest a potential role of PNE as an eco-friendly alternative for managing C. truncatum in soybean cultivation.
