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

Onion waste disposal issue could be solved by using onion skin as food ingredient. Therefore, the aim of present study is the estimation of flavonoid concentration, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and antioxidant activities of onion skin of fifteen Indian cultivars. Flavonoid quantification was achieved by high performance liquid chromatography, which showed highest concentration of quercetin, quercetin 3-β-D-glucoside, luteolin and kaempferol in cv. 'NHRDF Red' (11,885.025 mg/kg), 'Hissar-2' (1432.875 mg/kg), 'Pusa Riddhi' (1669.925 mg/kg) and 'Bhima Shakti' (709.975 mg/kg), respectively in dry weight. Highest TPC and TFC were found in cv. 'NHRDF Red' while lowest were measured in cv. 'Bhima Shubhra'. DPPH assay (%), ABTS assay (%) and FRAP assay (µmol gallic acid/g) were showed maximum antioxidant capacity for cv. 'NHRDF Red' whereas least obtained for cv. 'Bhima Shubhra'. Skin of cv. 'Hissar-2' and 'NHRDF Red' are the best source of flavonoids and natural antioxidants.
