Anthocyanin accumulation, inflorescence dry weight and total cannabidiol content have different temperature optima in Cannabis sativa.

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.
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
backgroundLimited information exists on how temperature affects phytocannabinoids and anthocyanin accumulation and inflorescence dry weight yield in Cannabis sativa. Understanding how temperature influences these traits is essential for refining cultivation practices, meeting market demands, and developing novel cannabis cultivars with improved agronomic, medicinal, and aesthetic attributes.
methodsIn this study, a day-neutral inbred population with uniform expression of purple pigmentation on the leaves and flowers was used to explore how temperatures ranging from 0.5 to 22 °C impacts inflorescence dry weight, cannabidiol (CBD) percentage, and anthocyanin accumulation in cannabis. Data on inflorescence dry weight (g/plant), CBD (%), and anthocyanin concentration (mg∙L− 1) in the primary inflorescence of each plant were collected and analyzed.
resultsTotal CBD concentration and inflorescence dry weight yield increased with increasing temperature– likely a result of plant maturity rather than temperature stimuli. Anthocyanin accumulation was significantly affected by temperature stimuli, exhibiting peak production levels at constant temperatures of 8 °C and 15 °C.
conclusionsCBD concentration and inflorescence dry weight predominantly correlate with plant maturity, whereas anthocyanin accumulation is responsive to variations in environmental temperature. Maximum anthocyanin levels at 8 °C and 15 °C, along with reduction at 0.5 °C and 22 °C, suggests distinct temperature-dependent regulatory pathways for anthocyanin biosynthesis in cannabis, separate from those influencing CBD biosynthesis and inflorescence dry weight. Modeling anthocyanin concentration, CBD concentration, and total inflorescence dry weight across various temperature treatments could optimize desired floral qualities and other traits associated with yield in cannabis.
