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

Phytohormones are key signaling molecules that regulate plant growth, stress adaptation, and fruit ripening. However, their low abundance and structural diversity complicate accurate quantification in food matrices. This study presents a validated LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous detection of seven phytohormones in tomato fruit, including two synthetic analogs that mimic natural auxins and cytokinins. Method optimization focused on extraction efficiency, solid-phase cleanup, and mobile phase composition, achieving high recovery (85-95%) and reduced matrix effects. Chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column, with detection by triple quadrupole mass spectrometry in MRM mode. The method demonstrated excellent linearity (R
