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

Endophytes in medicinal plants possess significant biological value since they have in them the ability to provide elicitors crucial in regulating plant growth as also different secondary metabolites. This review emphasizes the effective ability of endophytic fungi to induce their hosts, explains the biological mechanisms of using endophytic fungi to enhance the accumulation of secondary metabolites in medicinal plant cultures, and summarizes the extensive application of endophytic fungi elicitors in medicinal plant cultivation. The main goal of this article is to clarify the mechanism and important role of endophytic elicitors in the production of natural drugs. This information will be helpful for scientific researchers in controlling the quality of medicinal materials, prioritizing endophytic resources, and achieving a circular and sustainable development and production of natural medicine.
