Antagonistic responses of native Trichoderma spp. vary among Bipolaris sorokiniana isolates.

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.
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
Spot blotch caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana is a major threat to barley production worldwide. Although the genus Trichoderma is widely recognized for its biocontrol potential, the extent to which genetic diversity among distinct pathogen isolates influences antagonistic responses remains poorly understood. This study screened eight native Trichoderma isolates from threatened Araucaria Forest remnants against six B. sorokiniana field isolates using exclusively in vitro assays. Pathogen genetic diversity was assessed using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers, while biocontrol potential was evaluated through dual culture and volatile/non-volatile metabolite production. Nei's genetic diversity (h = 0.444) and Shannon's information index (I = 0.634) revealed high genetic diversity among B. sorokiniana isolates, with no obvious relationship to sampling location. Our results showed that the antagonistic efficacy of Trichoderma varied according to the B. sorokiniana isolate. Although all Trichoderma isolates inhibited pathogen growth, their performance was highly isolate-dependent: the commercial standard T. harzianum exhibited the highest inhibition (up to 94%), followed by the native isolates T. harzianum LMA A14 and T. azevedoi LMA A22 (up to 82%) in dual culture, whereas T. asperelloides (LMA A20 and LMA A24) and T. longibrachiatum LMA A21 excelled differentially in volatile and non-volatile metabolite production, showing distinct suppression profiles across different B. sorokiniana genotypes. This study suggests that microbial biocontrol is a dynamic interaction in which variability among pathogen isolates may influence antagonist performance, highlighting the importance of evaluating a range of them when screening broad-spectrum native biocontrol candidates for sustainable disease management.
