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

Current disposal methods for pomegranate peel (PP) waste are inadequate, resulting in environmental pollution. Given PP's therapeutic potential in alleviating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), elucidating its bioactive mechanisms is critical to guide its development into dietary supplements and promote sustainable recycling. In this study, bioinformatics and network analysis were employed to identify active compounds, key targets, and signaling pathways associated with PP's therapeutic effects. We identified 39 bioactive compounds (primarily polyphenols) and 106 key targets linked to IBS. Network analyses revealed that PP polyphenols mitigate oxidative stress and inflammation, modulate estrogen receptors to enhance gastrointestinal motility, and regulate ferroptosis. These findings underscore PP's potential as a therapeutic agent for IBS and provide a framework for repurposing food-processing byproducts.
