Comparative transcriptomics of biopesticide-treated olives subjected to Xylella infection.
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
backgroundThe management of Xylella fastidiosa infections relies on integrated strategies of controlling vector populations and removing inoculum sources. The impact of a subspecies pauca strain of this bacterium (XfDD) was particularly severe in olive in Apulia, Italy, where an entire economy was affected, and a territory was devastated. There is an urgent request for strategies to combat the pathogen in planta, as well as for bioinsecticides targeting its vector insect species, and that these should conform to criteria of environmental acceptance. Therefore, this study analyses the Mechanisms of Action (MoA) of three novel biopesticides for pest management of XfDD in olive.
resultsIn vitro assays showed that the Onion extract (Onion) inhibits the growth of XfDD while the bacterium Paraburkholderia phytofirmans strain PsJN (PsJN) did not. Using a time course transcriptomics approach, the molecular response of olive to the biopesticides PsJN and Onion, aiming to control XfDD, and to the natural insecticide Sankari
conclusionsDissecting the MoA of a potential biopesticide complements the evaluation of its efficacy in controlling the pathogen. In the case of XfDD, this assessment requires extensive field trials due to the prolonged period before symptoms appear in infected olives and the occurrence of repeated inoculations under natural conditions.
