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
Chili pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a major horticultural commodity in Indonesia whose productivity is constrained by viral diseases, particularly pepper yellow leaf curl virus (PepYLCV). This study investigated the spatial distribution, symptomatology, incidence, severity, and genetic diversity of PepYLCV in seven primary chili‑producing districts of Lampung Province, namely North, Central, South, and West Lampung, Pesawaran, Pringsewu, and Tanggamus. Field surveys combined with molecular diagnostics demonstrated widespread PepYLCV infection, with disease incidence reaching 91% and 85% and disease severity 79% and 77% in Tanggamus and West Lampung, respectively. Symptom expression, including leaf curling, yellow mosaic, leaf size reduction, and stunting, varied among agroecosystems. Infection by PepYLCV was confirmed through PCR using begomovirus‑specific primers, and partial nucleotide sequences of the replication‑associated (AC1/AC2) and coat protein (AV1) genes showed 86-94% identity with PepYLCV isolates in GenBank, indicating close relatedness within the Indonesian PepYLCV complex. Phylogenetic analyses grouped all Lampung isolates in a well‑supported clade (bootstrap 99-100%) distinct from foreign begomoviruses, and the pronounced genetic homogeneity is consistent with efficient regional spread mediated by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that PepYLCV constitutes a serious constraint to chili production in Lampung and poses a risk of further dissemination to other production centers, underscoring the need for integrated disease management through vector suppression, deployment of PepYLCV‑resistant cultivars, and strategic development of mild strain cross‑protection.
