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

Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of gray mold, is a highly adaptable necrotrophic fungus that causes significant losses in economically important crops such as tomatoes. Increasing resistance to fungicides and environmental concerns have stimulated interest in microbial biocontrol agents as part of integrated pest management strategies. This chapter presents standardized protocols for evaluating the efficacy of microbial biocontrol agents against B. cinerea on tomato plants under controlled conditions. Methods include preparation of pathogen and biocontrol inoculum, production of healthy plants, and bioassays on whole plants, detached stems, and detached leaves, with quantitative disease assessment. These protocols aim to ensure reproducibility and comparability while facilitating mechanistic studies and optimization of biocontrol strategies prior to field application.
