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

As a key component of both traditional medicine and modern healthcare, Food-Medicine Homologous Herbal Materials have attracted considerable attention in recent years. However, issues related to the quality and authenticity of medicinal materials on the market often arise, not only compromising their efficacy but also presenting potential risks to consumer health. Therefore, the establishment of accurate and efficient identification methods is crucial for ensuring the safety and quality of Food-Medicine Homologous Herbal Materials. This paper provides a systematic review of the research progress on the identification methods for Food-Medicine Homologous Herbal Materials, starting with traditional methods such as morphological and microscopic identification, and focusing on the applications of modern techniques, including biomimetic recognition, chromatography, mass spectrometry, chromatography-mass spectrometry coupling, hyperspectral imaging, near-infrared spectroscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, and DNA barcoding. Moreover, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the fundamental principles, advantages, and limitations of these methods. Finally, the paper outlines the current challenges faced by identification methods and suggests future directions for improvement, aiming to offer a comprehensive technical perspective on identifying Food-Medicine Homologous Herbal Materials and foster further development in this field.
