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

Quercetin, a naturally occurring bioflavonoid substance widely used in the nutraceutical and food industries, exists in various solid forms that can have different physicochemical properties, thus impacting this compound's performance in various applications. In this work, we will clarify the complex solid-form landscape of this molecule. Two elusive isostructural solvates of quercetin were obtained from ethanol and methanol. The obtained crystals were characterized experimentally, but the crystallographic structure could not be solved due to their high instability. Nevertheless, the desolvated structure resulting from a high-temperature treatment (or prolonged storage at ambient conditions) of both these two labile crystals was characterized and solved via powder X-ray diffraction and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR). This anhydrous crystal structure was compared with another anhydrous quercetin form obtained in our previous work, indicating that, at least, two different anhydrous polymorphs of quercetin exist. Navigating the solid-form landscape of quercetin is essential to ensure accurate control of the functional properties of food, nutraceutical, or pharmaceutical products containing crystal forms of this substance.
