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

This study aimed to investigate the efficiency of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and endophytic fungi to promote growth and fiber yield of Cannabis sativa subsp. sativa RPF3 (Hemp) and the impact on cannabinoid concentrations. A factorial pot experiment with six replications was conducted for 90 days. Two species of AMF (Rhizophagus aggregatus, R. prolifer) and two species of endophytic fungi (Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Macrophomina phaseolina) were selected as inocula and compared with two non-mycorrhizal controls, one without synthetic fertilizer and one with synthetic NPK fertilizer. Inoculation with AMF and endophytic fungi increased mass fractions of cellulose, acid detergent fiber, and neutral detergent fiber and mass fractions of cannabinoids, especially of cannabidiol, in leaves and shoots, with the strongest increase noted after inoculation with R. aggregatus and L. theobromae. Our study is the first to report the effectiveness of AMF and endophytic fungi on promoting growth, fiber content, and cannabinoid production in hemp. These results suggest the potential for hemp cultivation with AMF and endophytic fungi without the potential negative effects induced by high use of synthetic fertilizer.
