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

Linseed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, and its increased consumption could aid in health-promoting nutrition. However, rapid oxidation of linseed oil and concomitant development of bitterness impair consumers' acceptance. Previous research revealed that cyclolinopeptides, a group of cyclic peptides inherent to linseed oil, dominantly contribute to the observed bitterness. In the present study, fresh and stored linseed oil and flaxseed were analyzed for the presence of cyclolinopeptides using preparative high-performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry- and nuclear magnetic resonance-based identification and quantification. The purified compounds were tested for the activation of all 25 human bitter taste receptors of which only two responded exclusively to methionine-oxidized cyclolinopeptides. Of those, the methionine sulfoxide-containing cyclolinopeptide-4 elicited responses at relevant concentrations. We conclude that this compound is the main determinant of linseed oil's bitterness and propose strategies to reduce the development of bitterness.
