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

To understand the effects of endophytic fungus Y118 on the physiological characteristics of Zanthoxylum nitidum (Roxb.) DC after co-culture with its host Zanthoxylum nitidum, we measured the plant growth index (dry root weight) of Zanthoxylum nitidum at different growth stages using the solid fermentation medium containing endophytic fungus Y118. Physiological and biochemical indexes (defensive enzyme activity) were determined by chromatographic analysis of the contents of nitidum chloride and chelidonine, the main active ingredients in Zanthoxylum nitidum root. At 3, 9 and 12 months, the root dry weight of the treatment group was 12.24, 1.56 and 1.47 times higher than that of the control group, respectively (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). At 9 and 12 months, the peroxidase (POD) activity of the treatment group was increased significantly from the control group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). At 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, the phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity of the treatment group was significantly different from that of the control group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). At 12 months, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b contents of the treatment group were markedly increased from the control group (P < 0.05). At 6 and 9 months, nitidine chloride content in the treatment group was significantly increased from the control group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). At 9 months, chelidonine content in the treatment group was significantly increased from the control group (P < 0.01). Inoculation with the endophytic fungus Y118 significantly improved the physiological tolerance of Zanthoxylum nitidum and promoted the growth of Zanthoxylum nitidum, thereby enhancing the quality of Zanthoxylum nitidum. This implicates Y118 as a potential artificial fertilizer for Zanthoxylum nitidum.
