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

Black garlic is a processed product prepared by ageing raw garlic bulbs under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions for several days or weeks. Black garlic has a better sensory appeal, with a sweet-sour taste, a characteristic sulfur-sweet-roasted aroma, and a soft, elastic, jelly like texture. In the last decade, black garlic has acquired a reputation in the functional food market due to its antioxidative, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, and anti-diabetic activities. This review provides an insight into processing techniques, including pretreatments for the production of black garlic, phytochemical changes during the ageing, and their effect on the quality parameters of black garlic, Maillard reaction products, changes in the aroma profile of black garlic, and physiological role of constituents of black garlic in various diseases. This review will be helpful in expanding the industrial applications of black garlic as a functional food.
