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

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is one of the most widespread and economically important plant viruses, infecting over 1,300 species across diverse plant families. A distinctive feature of CMV biology is its association with satellite RNAs (satRNAs), small non-coding RNA molecules that rely entirely on the helper virus for replication, encapsidation, and transmission. Despite lacking coding potential, satRNAs profoundly modulate CMV pathogenicity by influencing viral accumulation, symptom expression, and host-virus interactions. Depending on their sequence and structure, satRNAs may intensify symptoms or attenuate disease severity. Their activities are mediated through structural mimicry, RNA silencing pathways, and competition for replication machinery. Beyond molecular interactions, satRNAs also shape ecological and evolutionary outcomes of CMV epidemics, including symptom diversity, host adaptation, and vector transmission dynamics. This review emphasizes current knowledge on the biology, symptom modulation, molecular mechanisms, ecological roles, and detection strategies of CMV satRNAs, while highlighting their significance in viral evolution and disease epidemiology.
