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

The Ziziphi spinosae semen flavonoids (ZSSF) possess significant nutritional value and exhibit a wide range of health benefits, exerting positive effects on diseases related to the central nervous system. Given the excellent bioactivity and limited absorption of ZSSF, elucidating the underlying mechanism of ZSSF is imperative. In this study, in vitro fecal microbial culture fermentation was performed to investigate the metabolism of ZSSF and its effect on the gut microbiota. A total of 45 chemical constituents were identified by Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS), and possible biotransformation pathways were postulated. The degradation rates of spinosin and 6‴-feruloylspinosin were 2.53 ± 0.07 μg/mL/h and 0.79 ± 0.06 μg/mL/h, respectively, with swertisin accumulating to 55.00 ± 3.55 μg/mL at 24 h before declining. The abundance of
