Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted by Fungi Have Substantial Effects on Growth and Disease Resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana.

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
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by certain fungi have previously been suggested to modulate plant development and their response to stresses. While some fungal species, such as Trichoderma harzianum, are known to produce VOCs, the production of VOCs in other phylogenetically divergent species, such as Mucor mucedo, was previously unknown. This study aimed to analyse the VOCs profiles emitted by these fungal species and examine their effects on the growth and defensive responses of Arabidopsis thaliana. Volatilome analysis revealed that the most abundant VOCs for both species were alcohols, ketones and esters. However, notable differences were also observed, particularly with regard to terpenes. We then observed that prolonged exposure to VOCs emitted by both fungal species had detrimental effects on A. thaliana growth and photosynthetic performance, whereas shorter exposures enhanced the expression of defense-related genes and the plant defense against the phytopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae. This increased resistance does not appear to be mediated by canonical H
