Effect of fungal chitosan on the morphology, biochemical, and genetic changes in selected genotypes of Scutellaria barbata D. Don under in vitro conditions.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Scutellaria barbata D. Don is an important plant for the phytopharmaceutical industry, and scutellarin is one of the key compounds produced in its shoots with confirmed anticancer properties. However, there is a lack of studies focused on obtaining phytochemically and genetically homogeneous, sterile plant material that is free from bacterial and fungal contamination and has a high scutellarin content. This study aimed to assess the effect of the biotic elicitor fungal chitosan, derived from Aspergillus niger, on the morphology of microcuttings, scutellarin content, concentrations of plant pigments (anthocyanins, carotenoids, chlorophyll a, and chlorophyll b), and selected oxidative stress biomarkers (free proline and catalase activity). Additionally, the study assessed genetic stability using Start Codon Targeted Polymorphism (SCoT) molecular markers in three genotypes of S. barbata (L5, L6, and L7). The addition of chitosan from A. niger to the medium influenced the morphological features, concentrations of anthocyanins, carotenoids, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, scutellarin, and free proline content, as well as the genetic stability of S. barbata microcuttings, with the effects depending on its concentration and genotype. However, catalase activity was not affected.
