Biochemical and antioxidant properties of cream and orange-fleshed sweet potato.
Article in Heliyon, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The rate of micronutrient deficiency has been on an increase since the last decade and the utilization of bio-fortified crops could help to alleviate this deficiency and food insecurity in Africa especially in Nigeria. The aim of this study was to compare the biochemical and antioxidant properties of cream-fleshed and orange-fleshed sweet potato. The varieties of OFSP used in this study were mother's delight (MDP) and king J (KJP) orange-fleshed sweet potato while the other variety was cream-fleshed sweet potato (CFSP). The tubers were processed into flour and analyzed for proximate, minerals, anti-nutrient and antioxidant properties using standard methods. The ash content ranged from 4.60 to 7.20%, carbohydrate content ranged between 73.47 and 78.61%. MDP has the highest beta carotene content with 18.83 mg/100g followed by KJP and CFSP. Magnesium value ranged between 124.0 and 148.2 mg/100g, potassium ranged from 1226.5 to 2350.0 mg/100g. Sodium-potassium ratio (Na/K) was <1. The antioxidants properties evaluated were all higher in OFSP than CFSP. The bio-fortified sweet potato showed an improved biochemical and antioxidant properties compared to the CFSP, thus OFSP will be suitable to combat micronutrient deficiency and food insecurity in Africa.
