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

Lotus leaves combine both edible and medicinal properties and are rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds. In this study, the lotus leaf tea was prepared using a black tea fermentation process, and the functional components and microbial changes during fermentation were investigated. The results indicated that the activity of polyphenol oxidase showed an initial rise followed by a decline as fermentation progressed, peaked at 3 h with 1.07 enzyme activity units during fermentation. The lotus leaf fermented tea has high levels of soluble sugars (20.92 ± 0.53 mg/g), total flavonoids (1.59 ± 0.05 mg GAE/g), and total polyphenols (41.34 ± 0.87 mg RE/g). Its antioxidant activity was evaluated using ABTS, DPPH, and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays, with results of 18.90 ± 1.02 mg Vc/g, 47.62 ± 0.51 mg Vc/g, and 17.58 ± 1.06 mg Vc/g, respectively. The microbial community also shifted during fermentation.
