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

Wild edible plants (WEPs) are valuable sources of secondary metabolites with potential nutraceutical benefits. This study aimed to analyze the phytochemical composition, antioxidant capacity, and vitamin C content of seven selected nutraceutical plants. The analyses were performed following AOAC standard protocols. A standard calibration curve was used to validate spectrophotometric measurements. One-way ANOVA and Pearson's correlation were used for analysis. The results showed that TPC, TFC, and vitamin C levels ranged from 106.61 ± 4.62 to 172.88 ± 8.76 mg GAE/100 g, 50.64 ± 5.64 to 154.16 ± 8.18 mg QE/100 g, and 11.3 ± 0.025 to 61.2 ± 0.071 mg/100 g, respectively. The average antioxidant activities of the studied WEPs, expressed as DPPH, IC
