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

Cannabis sativa aromatic prenyltransferase 4 (CsPT4) and 1 (CsPT1) have been shown to catalyze cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) biosynthesis, a step that rate-limits the cannabinoid biosynthetic pathway; both genes are highly expressed in flowers. CsPT4 and CsPT1 promoter driven β-glucuronidase (GUS) activities were detected in leaves of cannabis seedlings, and strong CsPT4 promoter activities were associated with glandular trichomes. Hormonal regulation of cannabinoid biosynthetic genes is poorly understood. An in silico analysis of the promoters identified putative hormone responsive elements. Our work examines hormone-responsive elements in the promoters of CsPT4 and CsPT1 in the context of physiological responses of the pathway to the hormone in planta. Dual luciferase assays confirmed the regulation of promoter activities by the hormones. Further studies with salicylic acid (SA) demonstrated that SA pretreatment increased the expression of genes located downstream of the cannabinoid biosynthetic pathway. The results from all aspects of this study demonstrated an interaction between certain hormones and cannabinoid synthesis. The work provides information relevant to plant biology, as we present evidence demonstrating correlations between molecular mechanisms that regulate gene expression and influence plant chemotypes.
