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

Global crop movement has traditionally been viewed as a major driver of emerging plant diseases through the introduction of pathogens into naïve environments. Here we show that the reverse process, introducing crops into regions containing endemic pathogens already adapted to related native hosts, is an equally powerful but underrecognized mechanism of disease emergence. Using multilocus phylogeny, haplotype networks, SplitsTree analysis, and molecular clock dating of both fresh and century-old herbarium specimens, we reconstructed the global history of powdery mildews infecting strawberries and raspberries. We reveal that these fungi comprise ancient, geographically structured, host-specialized lineages rather than a single cosmopolitan species as previously assumed. North American lineages infecting strawberries (
