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

MAIN

conclusionThis review provides a comprehensive overview of the pathogenicity of Botryosphaeria dothidea, highlights the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying apple resistance to this pathogen, and discusses current and emerging management strategies for controlling B. dothidea infections in apple. Botryosphaeria dothidea is a highly destructive fungal pathogen, responsible for canker, dieback, and fruit rot in apple (Malus × domestica) worldwide. This pathogen poses a serious threat to apple production due to its broad host range, endophytic survival ability, and emerging fungicide resistance. This review synthesizes the infection process, disease symptoms, and environmental factors driving disease. We also review the genetic and molecular basis of apple resistance to B. dothidea, highlighting key genes, signaling pathways, and regulatory mechanisms involved in disease resistance. Finally, we provide an overview of cultural practices, chemical and biological control, and integrated management strategies used to manage B. dothidea infections in apple orchards. By clarifying the complex host-pathogen interactions, this review aims to inform future research and advance sustainable disease management solutions.
