(±)-Catechins inhibit prehaustorium formation in the parasitic weed Phelipanche ramosa and reduce tomato infestation.
Article in Pest management science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPhelipanche ramosa L. (Pomel) is a noxious parasitic weed in field and vegetable crops in Mediterranean countries. Control of this pest is complex and far from being achieved, and new environmentally-friendly strategies are being sought. The present study evaluates the possibility of using (±)-catechins as a natural herbicide against broomrapes.
resultsThe results show that (±)-catechins have no effect on GR24-induced germination over a wide concentration range (10
conclusionThis study points the potential use of (±)-catechins for parasitic weed control. It raises also the question of the mechanisms involved in the inhibition of prehaustorium formation and the necrosis of parasite attachments in response to (±)-catechins application. © 2024 The Author(s).
