Endophytic fungi and their secondary metabolites in Qin medicine plants: a comprehensive review of diversity, function, and application.
Review in PeerJ, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Qin medicine represents the premier local traditional Chinese medicinal herbs in Shaanxi province (China) and its neighboring areas. Endophytic fungi, an essential element of the internal ecosystem of medicinal plants, have attracted considerable attention for their roles in enhancing plant resistance to pests and diseases, increasing the concentration of bioactive compounds, and stimulating plant growth and development. This paper presents the first comprehensive review of endophytic fungi in Qin medicinal plants, summarizing their diversity, effects on plant growth and medicinal quality, as well as novelty and bioactivity of their secondary metabolites. It also highlights their potential applications in promoting plant growth. Furthermore, this study explores the current opportunities and challenges in the research of endophytic fungi within Qin medicinal plants, with the objective of offering a unique perspective for the advancement and development of Qin medicinal plants.
