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 L. is an ancient crop, but its agricultural adoption has been interrupted to prevent the use of marijuana as a psychoactive drug. Nevertheless, hemp-the C. sativa type with low concentrations of intoxicating Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinoid-is experiencing a resurgence in interest due to loosened cultivation restrictions and its potential as a multipurpose bio-based crop. Hemp has valuable applications, including production of medicines from its non-intoxicating cannabinoids, food, medical, and industrial uses of its seed oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, and production of fibers for textiles and industry from its stems. Recently, several hemp genomic and genetic resources have been developed, allowing significant expansion of our knowledge of major hemp traits, such as synthesis of cannabinoids, oil, and fibers, and regulation of flowering and sex determination. Still, hemp is an underimproved crop, and its development will depend on the ability to expand and collectively use the novel resources arising from fast advancements in bioinformatics and plant phenotyping. This review discusses current genetic and genomic knowledge of the most important hemp traits, and provides a perspective on how to further expand such knowledge and tackle hemp improvement with the most up-to-date tools for plant and hemp research.
