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

Bamboo rice refers to the edible seeds collected from bamboo plants, but the nutritional and chemical compositions of bamboo rice are unknown. Here, we evaluated the nutritional value of two types of bamboo seeds by comparing them to rice and wheat. The fiber, protein, and microelement contents were much higher in bamboo seeds than in rice and wheat seeds. The flavonoids content was 5- and 10-folds higher in Moso bamboo seeds than in rice and wheat seeds, respectively. Amino acid profiles exhibited that most of amino acids were abundant in bamboo seeds compared to rice and wheat seeds. While water-soluble B vitamins and fatty acids in bamboo seeds were similar to those in rice and wheat seeds. Accordingly, rice and wheat may thus be substituted by bamboo rice which is a potentially functional food. Its high flavonoid content may be further exploited by the food industry.
