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.
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
Broccoli sprouts are abundant in bioactive antioxidants and are recognized as a novel class of functional food. This study explored the mechanisms by which selenium-sulfur coupled with heat treatment (HSS) affects the antioxidant capacity and accumulation of bioactive compounds in broccoli microgreens. The results showed that, compared to the control group, 4-day-old broccoli sprouts treated with HSS exhibited a 27.16% increase in total phenolic content and a 26.63% increase in anthocyanin content. Activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase, and peroxidase increased by 27.97, 30.54, and 46.48%, respectively. These changes enhance the antioxidant capacity of broccoli sprouts. HSS induced the biosynthesis of glucosinolates (GLs) and isothiocyanates (ITCs) by increasing myrosinase activity in the sprouts and upregulating the expression levels of genes associated with the GLs and ITCs biosynthetic pathways. iTRAQ proteomics analysis further revealed that the GLs biosynthetic pathway is the key pathway for ITCs accumulation induced by combined selenium-thiocyanate and heat stress. In addition, MAM1, APS3, SULTR1;2, and CYP79B3 were identified as potential key proteins. These proteins contribute to ITCs formation in sprouts under the combined treatment. These findings support the HSS as a novel regulatory strategy to enhance the nutritional value of broccoli sprouts and lay the foundation for the development of functional foods based on broccoli sprouts.
