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

This study investigated the key flavor metabolites and their seasonal variation mechanisms in the Fuliang green tea-specific cultivar 'Fuliang Zhuye 1' (FLZY). Results showed that cultivar identity shaped the metabolite profile more strongly than spring seasonal changes. Compared with 'Fuding Dabaicha' (FDDB), FLZY better represented the traditional flavor profile of Fuliang green tea, which is characterized by floral aroma and a sweet aftertaste. Using multimodal flavoromics, we identified a set of key aroma- and taste-active compounds capable of reconstituting FLZY's characteristic flavor. Omission experiments suggested that several amino acids-including L-theanine, L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid, and L-glutamine-enhanced umami, sweetness, mellowness, and sweet aftertaste. These amino acids also reduced bitterness and astringency. Notably, their individual dose-over-threshold values were all below one. The springtime decline of these components correlated with a reduction in overall flavor intensity. Furthermore, FLZY accumulated markedly higher levels of kaempferol-3-
