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

In the present study, apple pectin (AP) extracted from apple pomace was used to chelate with Fe(III) to synthesize an AP-Fe(III) complex. The obtained AP-Fe(III) complex was characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XPS, and TG analysis. The Fe content in the AP-Fe(III) complex was determined to be 24.5%. Moreover, the reduction properties of the complex were also investigated. The AP-Fe(III) complex was found to be soluble in water and maintained stability in the pH range of 3-8. The complex was reduced to Fe(II) after 6 h. In addition, the AP-Fe(III) complex did not release iron ions in the simulated gastric fluid, and Fe release of the complex reached 96.5% after 4 h of digestion in simulated intestinal fluid. In particular, the antioxidant activity of the AP-Fe(III) complex against free DPPH and ABTS radicals was evaluated. The results obtained in this study demonstrate the potential of the AP-Fe(III) complex as a novel iron supplement.
