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
introductionThe process of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) breeding has affected negatively the fruit organoleptic properties and this is evident when comparing modern cultivars with heirloom varieties. Flavor of tomato fruit is determined by a complex combination of volatile and nonvolatile metabolites that is not yet understood.
objectivesThe aim of this work was to provide an alternative approach to exploring the relationship between tomato odour/taste and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
methodsVOC composition and organoleptic properties of seven Andean tomato landraces along with an edible wild species (Solanum pimpinellifolium) and four commercial varieties were characterized. Six hedonic traits were analyzed by a semitrained sensory panel to describe the organoleptic properties. Ninety-four VOCs were analyzed by headspace solid phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS/SPME/GC-MS). The relationship between sensory data and VOCs was explored using an Artificial Neural Networks model (Kohonen Self Organizing Maps, omeSOM). RESULTS AND
conclusionThe results showed a strong preference by panelists for tomatoes of landraces than for commercial varieties and wild species. The predictive analysis by omeSOM showed 15 VOCs significantly associated to the typical and atypical tomato odour and taste. Moreover, omeSOM was used to predict the relationship of VOC ratios with sensory data. A total of 108 VOC ratios out of 8837 VOC ratios were predicted to be contributing to the typical and atypical tomato odour and taste. The metabolic origin of these flavor-associated VOCs and the metabolic point or target for breeding strategies were discussed.
