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

Konjac is a perennial herbaceous plant from the Araceae family's Amorphophallus genus. It has high nutritional, health, and pharmacological values. It contains various bioactive components, the most notable of which is konjac glucomannan, which has several biological roles, including efficiently fighting diabetes, exerting prebiotic activity, containing antioxidant capacity, modulating immunological function, and demonstrating anti-cancer potential. Currently, the konjac glucomannan (KGM) research mainly focuses on packaging film, gel characteristics, efficacy, and evaluation. However, the extraction, underlying portrayal, derivatization, and action of KGM are seldom detailed. Herein, the utilization of konjac as an unrefined substance was surveyed, meaning to give extensive and orderly recombinant data on the extraction, decontamination, structure, natural movement, derivatization, and use of KGM to provide a full play to the interesting gelatinate, biocompatibility, high viscosity and other properties of KGM. It provided a theoretical basis for further developing the konjac glucomannan food industry, pharmaceutical field, and other fields.
