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

The present study investigated the dynamics changes in physicochemical properties and non-volatile metabolites during Bulang pickled tea fermentation. A combination of artificial sensory evaluation, chemical-physical analysis, ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS), and multivariate statistical analysis were employed to examine the differences among four fermentation stages of Bulang pickled tea. The bitterness, astringency, sweetness after taste, sourness and fermentation taste tended to increase with fermentation. The highest lactic acid bacteria, aerobic bacteria, total titratable acidity, total soluble sugar, total polyphenols, and total flavonoids were recorded at the second month of fermentation, while fungi, total free amino acids, total antioxidant capacity and hydroxyl free radical scavenging capacity increased with fermentation. Mantel test demonstrated significant associations between lactic acid bacteria /fungal communities and taste characteristics. UPLC-QTOF-MS analysis led to the identification of 35 differential non-volatile metabolites, predominantly comprising heterocyclic compounds, organic acids with their derivatives, and flavonoids. Nine non-volatile metabolites are related to antioxidant activity, and morin, malvidin and 7-methylxanthine exhibit relatively strong antioxidant activity. This study provides comprehensive insights into the non-volatile metabolites and antioxidant function of Bulang pickled tea.
