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

There have been many studies investigating the application of ultrasonic treatment in vegetables and fruits to eliminate surface contaminants including dirt, microbes, and chemicals such as pesticides. Using a jet ultrasonic washer developed by us to wash food materials, we found that ultrasonic treatment prolonged the freshness of spinach. The stomata closed in the ultrasonicated spinach leaves, whereas those in spinach soaked in water remained open during 24-h storage. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the expression of Ethylene-insensitive 3 Binding F-box protein 1 and 2 (EBF1 and EBF2), which inhibit ethylene signaling, was remarkably increased by ultrasonic treatment, suggesting that the suppression of ethylene signaling allowed stomatal closure in response to abscisic acid signals in the ultrasonicated leaves. Although the precise mechanism of the induction of EBF1 and EBF2 expression by ultrasonic treatment needs to be addressed in further studies, our findings suggest that ultrasonic treatment can be applied to revive and prolong the freshness of leaf vegetables, as well as for their cleaning.
