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

To ensure the authenticity of geographic origins and varieties of coix seeds and their preliminary processed products, this study focused on their viscosity characteristics and stable isotopes before and after gelatinization. The feasibility of identifying coix seed origins from Guizhou and Liaoning, China, and distinguishing between big coix seed (BCS) and small coix seed (SCS) based on viscosity parameters, protein and lipid content, stable isotope ratios and near-infrared spectra was investigated. Significant differences were observed in peak viscosity, trough viscosity, final viscosity, δ
