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

Ceratocystis paradoxa is a polyphagous, soil-borne pathogen that threatens various crops worldwide. This study evaluated soil suppressiveness against C. paradoxa and identified key biotic and abiotic factors involved. Suppressiveness was assessed using banana peel baits, followed by comparative analysis of microbial communities and soil physicochemical properties in five suppressive and five conducive soils. Suppressive soils exhibited higher culturable bacterial populations and enrichment of Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Acidobacteria, particularly Solirubrobacter, Actinoplanes, and Conexibacter. Favorable physicochemical traits included higher pH, calcium content, cation exchange capacity, base saturation, and sand content. Calcium carbonate amendments enhanced suppressiveness, particularly at pH 7.0. Transferring the microbiota from suppressive soils to conducive subsoils, combined with calcium carbonate, also induced suppressiveness. These results highlight the synergistic role of microbial communities and soil chemistry, particularly pH and calcium in pathogen suppression. Calcium promoted microbial activity and stabilized pH, contributing to reduced disease incidence. This integrated strategy offers a promising avenue for sustainable management of C. paradoxa in tropical agriculture through microbiome manipulation and soil amendments.
