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

Introduction: Tiebangchui (TBC, Tibetan name: བང་ང་ནག་པ།), the dried tuberous root of Methods: A combination of metabolomic techniques was developed, integrating ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) with desorption electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI) coupled with quantitative analytical techniques. This was done with the objective of monitoring the dynamic alterations in chemical constituents in TBC during the processing time. Metabolic markers were observed via DESI-MSI, and three alkaloids and five tannin acids were quantified through the use of UPLC and HPLC. Results: Fifty-one compounds were identified in unprocessed TBC and processed samples, of which 31 were discernible from unprocessed TBC. A total of 22 metabolic markers, such as aconine, aconitine, benzoylaconine, chebulic acid, gallic acid, and corilagin, can proficiently distinguish between raw and processed TBC with different processing times. And the results of content determination of three alkaloids and five tannins showed that they were stabilized at 72 h. The monoester-diterpenoid alkaloids (MDAs) and diester-diterpenoid alkaloids (DDAs) levels were 0.0149% and 0.0852% in 72 h, respectively. The contents of gallic acid, corilagin, 1,2,3,4,6- Discussion: The implementation of this technique could contribute to the identification of markers in Hezi decoction-processed TBC and the establishment of effective quality control and evaluation procedures to ensure the safety of TBC. The proposed method has the potential to elucidate the processing mechanism of
