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

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a major threat to tomato production, creating a need for sensitive, low-cost detection methods that can be applied to early symptomatic or low-viral-load samples. Recombinant antigen configuration may influence serological assay development, although the specific contribution of multiple-cloning-site (MCS)-derived intermediate sequences remains uncertain. In this study, a recombinant Trx-His-coat protein (CP) fusion antigen was produced using an MCS-free direct-fusion construct that retained the Trx-His tag while removing the MCS-derived intermediate sequence, followed by gradient refolding. No direct comparison with linker-containing, tag-cleaved, or tag-free antigen constructs was performed. The purified antigen was used to immunize rabbits and generate a high-titre polyclonal antibody (pAb). The resulting indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) achieved a theoretical limit of detection of 1.8 ng/mL and an estimated pre-dilution equivalent the limit of detection (LOD) of 72 ng/mL after sample dilution. The assay showed favourable tolerance to crude tomato leaf matrices, with spike-recovery rates of 95.45-100.40%. In a preliminary evaluation using a balanced panel of 32 field-collected samples, ELISA absorbance correlated with droplet digital PCR quantification (
