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

Sweet corn is a globally important food source and vegetable renowned for its rich nutritional content. However, post-harvest quality deterioration remains a significant challenge due to sweet corn's high sensitivity to environmental factors. Currently, low-temperature storage is the primary method for preserving sweet corn; however, the molecular mechanisms involved in this process remain unclear. In this study, kernels stored at different temperatures (28 °C and 4 °C) for 1, 3, and 5 days after harvest were collected for physiological and transcriptomic analysis. Low temperature storage significantly improved the PPO and SOD activity in sweet corn kernels compared to storage at a normal temperature. A total of 1993 common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in kernels stored at low temperatures across all three time points. Integrated analysis of transcriptomic and previous metabolomic data revealed that low temperature storage significantly affected flavonoid biosynthesis. Furthermore, 11 genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis exhibited differential expression across the three storage periods, including
