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

background"Tejocote, manzanita, tejocotera", and Mexican hawthorn are the popular common and commercial names of

methodsThe study utilized light microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to identify the key characteristics that differentiate the market sample sold under the name Raíz de Tejocote.

resultsAnatomical features revealed that the sample sold as Raiz de Tejocote is not a root but a stem. The absence of key diagnostic features such as cork, cortex, cambial layers, and sclereids in the cortex, and the presence of pith, uniseriate rays, radial vessel patterns, and clustered pits, strongly suggests that the market sample is adulterated, most likely derived from a stem of a

conclusionsThe anatomical comparison indicates that the market sample does not match the root or stem characters of
