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

A Mediterranean diet rich in (poly)phenols has been linked to neuroprotection, but its effects likely depend on the ability of phenolic metabolites to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This study evaluated the kinetics plasma and brain distribution of phenolic metabolites in Sprague-Dawley rats following oral administration of a polyphenol-rich extract mixture from Mediterranean foods (pomegranate, lemon, orange, grape, and olive). UPLC-ESI-QTOF analyses revealed 39 phenolic-derived metabolites in plasma, of which 20 were in nonperfused (NPB) and 19 in perfused brains (PB), including hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol sulfates, ellagic acid, dihydrocaffeic acid, and derived metabolites. Kinetic data showed substantially higher plasma metabolite concentrations than the brain, with slightly higher levels in NPB. The BBB transport efficiency of phenolic metabolites was validated
