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

Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. (CF), a dual-purpose medicinal and edible herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine, requires stringent quality control to ensure therapeutic efficacy and safety. This study developed a comprehensive multi-criteria evaluation system integrating Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with 4 main criteria (appearance characteristics, quality parameters, characteristic components, and pharmacological activities), which are further subdivided into 18 measurable indicators. Through single-factor experiments and Response Surface Methodology (RSM), optimal processing parameters were established, achieving a comprehensive quality score of 54.143 (on a normalized 0-100 scale with only 0.70% validation error. To further elucidate the biological mechanisms of quality deterioration during storage, ITS sequencing analysis elucidated microbial community succession under varying storage conditions (4-36 °C, 35-75% RH), demonstrating that low-temperature/low-humidity storage (4 °C, 35% RH) significantly suppressed fungal proliferation while maintaining >95% retention of morroniside and loganin, whereas only ≈78% retention of morroniside under high-temperature/high-humidity conditions (36 °C, 75% RH). This work establishes a potential methodological framework and offers practical technical insights toward the standardization of processing, storage, and quality assessment of CF.
