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

Objective: This study aims to achieve a cross-cultural consolidation of the local and traditional knowledge in order to contribute to an understanding of these knowledge systems and to guide bioprospecting on Methods: Documentation-based taxonomic revision was performed to define the current accepted species in Results: Currently, the genus Conclusion: In different biocultural backgrounds, the used species and usages varied greatly, and even the same species can be used differently. For the first time, this study archives a comprehensive understanding on the health benefits of global
