Integrative taxonomy and mitogenome characterization of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne silvestris.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are among the most damaging plant-parasitic nematodes, yet taxonomic uncertainties often complicate diagnostics and management. Here, we examined Meloidogyne silvestris populations from the Netherlands using an integrative approach combining morphology, isoenzyme profiles, and molecular markers. Morphological and morphometric traits, together with isozyme profiles, were highly consistent between the two Dutch populations and were complemented by near-identical 18S and 28S rDNA sequences, identical cox1 and cox2 barcodes, and a conserved mitochondrial genome architecture. In comparison with the original species description, these data support their identification as M. silvestris. We also present a nearly complete mitochondrial genome of M. silvestris, which expands genomic resources for root-knot nematodes. These findings highlight the value of integrative datasets for robust species delimitation and provide a framework for future studies on population structure, evolutionary dynamics, and diagnostic marker development within the genus.
