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
Evaluating mineral bioaccessibility in plant-based foods is essential to assess their real nutritional value. Hummus, a legume-based preparation widely consumed and culturally accepted, is a promising vehicle to enhance mineral intake, yet little is known about its micronutrient bioaccessibility. This study evaluated the mineral composition and in vitro bioaccessibility of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and calcium (Ca) in hummus prepared from whole brown lentil flour (BH), dehulled brown lentil flour (DBH), and dehulled Turkish red lentil flour (DTH). Potential modulators including phytic acid, total phenolic compounds, dietary fiber, and ascorbic acid were also analysed. Although dehulled flours contained lower Fe and Ca contents, hummus prepared from them showed significantly higher Fe and Ca bioaccessibility compared with BH. This improvement appears to be associated with the reduction in phenolic compounds, despite similar phytic acid levels. In contrast, Zn bioaccessibility was greater in DBH and BH (≈ 20%) than in DTH (15%), likely reflecting varietal differences. Phytic acid: mineral molar ratios were included to estimate the inhibitory potential of phytic acid toward Ca, Fe, and Zn. However, these ratios did not consistently predict mineral bioaccessibility, whereas the ascorbic acid: Fe ratio correlated positively with Fe bioaccessibility. A 250 g portion of hummus contributed modest amounts of minerals relative to daily requirements: DTH provided the highest Fe (0.60 mg), while DBH contributed slightly more Ca (≈ 7.1 mg) and Zn (0.6 mg). Overall, lentil hummus can be considered a food capable of reasonably improving Fe and Zn intake in plant-based diets.
