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

Plant pathogens cause substantial global crop losses, posing a serious threat to food security. Conventional chemical pesticides face increasing challenges, including the development of pathogen resistance and environmental pollution. In contrast, plant immune inducers offer a sustainable alternative by activating the plant immune system, thus reducing reliance on chemical pesticides. This review provides a systematic overview of the historical development, classification, applications, and future challenges associated with plant immune inducers. We focus on existing commercialized products and the obstacles faced by promising active substances during commercialization. We further outline future directions and strategies for the development and production of plant immune inducers, with particular emphasis on emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence for product screening and development, as well as delivery technologies for application. Plant immune inducers represent a crucial shift toward sustainable agriculture by harnessing plant defense mechanisms. Overcoming current challenges through interdisciplinary innovation in design, delivery, mechanistic understanding, and application is essential for unlocking their full potential to enhance global food security and reduce environmental impact.
