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

backgroundSoil-borne Fusarium oxysporum causes destructive wilt in chili (Capsicum annuum L.), yet the critical window for curative chemical intervention remains undefined. This study elucidates early pathogenic mechanisms and optimizes prochloraz application timing for precision disease management.

resultsFusarium oxysporum secreted polygalacturonase (PG) and pectin methyl galacturonase (PMG) to compromise root cell integrity, elicit reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst, and reduce root vitality by 78.17% versus healthy controls. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed extensive hyphal colonization. In vivo therapeutic assays demonstrated that prochloraz (80 μg mL

conclusionEarly-stage prochloraz intervention provides multi-target, mechanism-based curative control of Fusarium wilt by disrupting pathogen establishment and restoring root physiological function. These findings establish a precision timing strategy for integrated disease management in chili production. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
