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
This study employed segmented variable-frequency ultrasound synergistic hot-air drying (SVFU-HAD) for Rhubarb slices, selected two sets of time nodes for frequency conversion (60 min, 120 min, and 90 min, 150 min), and two sequences of frequency conversion (high-frequency to low-frequency, and low-frequency to high-frequency). It aimed to investigate the effects of SVFU-HAD on the drying characteristics, quality, and heat transfer of Rhubarb slices. The findings indicated that segmented variable-frequency ultrasound has advantages in increasing drying rate and improving uniformity of cavitation effects compared to constant-frequency ultrasound. Analysis of physical properties revealed that the rehydration performance of dried products subjected to ultrasonic variable-frequency treatment (90 min, 150 min) according to the drying rate was better (RR > 3.3). The transition mode from high-frequency to low-frequency in variable-frequency ultrasonic treatment contributes to maintaining the overall color of Rhubarb. Analysis of chemical properties unveiled that Rhubarb treated with 40 kHz (0 min)-28 kHz (60 min)-25 kHz (120 min) segmented variable-frequency ultrasound contained overall higher levels of tannins, dianthrones and free anthraquinones content, which exceeded the average values by 3.24%, 26.65%, and 14.42%, respectively. In addition, thermal analysis results based on ANSYS Workbench software demonstrated that the drying uniformity of SVFU-HAD is superior to that of hot-air drying and constant-frequency ultrasound synergistic hot-air drying (CFU-HAD). Overall, the SVFU-HAD method employed in this study presents an innovative approach to ultrasound synergistic hot-air drying research with promising potential for enhancing the efficiency and quality characteristics of Rhubarb slices.
