Streptomyces corchorusii, sodium silicate, and potassium silicate as eco-friendly alternatives to control fungal rot of navel oranges during cold storage and shelf life.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
Oranges undergo internal metabolic changes during cold storage and shelf life at ambient conditions, resulting in physiological and pathological disorders, mainly caused by Penicillium digitatum (green mold) and Penicillium italicum (blue mold), which decrease consumer preferences and marketability. To elucidate the effects of eco-friendly, safe treatments to control mold spoilage and maintain the quality of Navel oranges during cold storage and shelf life, freshly mature fruits were dipped for 15 min in 1% potassium silicate (PS), 0.5% sodium silicate (SS), or 10 6 CFU/ml Streptomyces corchorusii phytstc7 (STC), either alone or in combinations. The fruits were cold stored at (5 °C and 85-90% RH) for 50 days, followed by 3 days of shelf life (23 ± 1 °C and 60-70% RH). All treatments recorded no green mold incidence during 30 days of cold storage followed by 3 days of shelf life. However, after 40 and 50 days, the control treatment demonstrated a progressive increase in disease incidence, reaching 16.6 and 23.3%, respectively. Conversely, single treatments with PS, SS, and STC significantly suppressed disease development by 2.6%, 4.7%, and 2.0%, respectively. The combined treatment (PS + SS + STC) exhibited synergistic effects, and no visible disease was observed during 50 days of cold storage and 3 days of shelf life. This treatment also exhibited superior effects in maintaining regular physical and biochemical parameters of fruit quality. Other combinations, such as PS + STC and SS + STC, also performed exceptionally well, with a mean incidence of 1.3% and 0.7%, respectively. The severity of the disease followed a pattern similar to that of the disease incidence. Overall, postharvest dipping in 106 CFU/ml STC alone or combined with 1% PS and 0.5% SS could be an effective treatment to control green and blue mold and to retain the quality of 'Navel oranges' during 50 days of cold storage and shelf life.
