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

Alternaria alternata infects grapes postharvest and causes harmful fruit rot. This study evaluated Tetraclinis articulata essential oil (TA-EO) nanoemulsion as a sustainable biocontrol strategy for Vitis vinifera cv. Red Globe. After storage, grapes were inoculated with A. alternata and treated with TA-EO nanoemulsions at different concentrations. Disease severity index (DSI), total polyphenol, flavonoid contents, and antioxidant activity were evaluated after 3, 6, 9, and 12 days. The EO, rich in α-pinene, camphor, and limonene, was successfully encapsulated into a stable nanoemulsion (358-392 nm; -40 mV). In vitro, nanoemulsion showed a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 500 µg/mL and a selectivity index (SI) of 1. In vivo, treatment at 2 g/L reduced DSI to 9.9% after 12 days versus 69.5% in the untreated control, comparable to a commercial fungicide (10.2%). Treated grapes maintained higher polyphenol (20.20 mg GAE/g DW) and flavonoid contents (48.83 mg QE/g DW), with stronger antioxidant activity (IC
