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

Fresh broccoli is highly perishable, exhibiting rapid yellowing and quality deterioration with a short shelf life. In this study, we investigated the effects of nanomaterial-modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) bags with different thicknesses, designated as 2.5C (25 μm) and 4C (40 μm), on the physiological and biochemical changes in broccoli were evaluated during storage at 20 ± 1 °C for 8 days. Results showed that both MAP treatments remarkably delayed floret senescence by inhibiting the rapid color transition from green to yellow, as indicated by alterations in L*, a*, b*, and hue angle values, as well as by suppressing chlorophyll degradation. The 2.5C treatment exhibited a more pronounced effect during storage. MAP treatments helped maintain commercial quality by preserving total phenols and vitamin C (Vc) content, retaining stem firmness and surface glossiness, regulating post-opening respiration rate and reducing water loss. MAP treatments also effectively suppressed the accumulation of superoxide anion (O
