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

Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druce (P. odoratum) is a perennial regions of Eurasia. As a traditional Chinese medicine of nourishing Yin and moistening dryness, it has a long history and has been widely used in the food and cosmetics industries. Since 1984, the research of P. odoratum has increased year by year, which has attracted the attention of scholars around the world. Except for a review in the food fields, there is no systematic and comprehensive summary. Using "Polygonatum odoratum" and "Yuzhu" (Chinese name as the search terms, this paper collected 80 articles closely related to P. odoratum from 1984 to 2025 in the international authoritative database (Springer, Web of Science, PubMed, ACS publications, ScienceDirect) and gave a systematic and comprehensive review of botany, chemistry, bioactivity, and application of P. odoratum. Botany includes plant distribution and botanical identification. One hundred and seventy-four chemical components are mainly divided into polysaccharides, flavonoids, saponins, and others; content determination involves ten monomeric compounds. The activity includes antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulation, antifungal, and antiviral aspects. The application covers two aspects: food and medicine. It is expected that this paper can provide prospective scientific thinking and literature support for the further modern research, development, and utilization of P. odoratum.
