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

Lotus root texture significantly influences consumer preferences and market value, yet the role of endophytes in determining the distinct mealy (ML) and crunchy (CL) textural properties remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between endophyte composition and metabolic characteristics underlying the texture differences between ML and CL lotus root varieties. Two lotus root varieties (ML and CL) were analyzed for endophytic microbial communities using high-throughput sequencing methods. Metabolite profiling of cellulose, starch, pectin, soluble sugars, and proteins was conducted using standard biochemical assays. The findings revealed higher cellulose, starch, and pectin content in mealy lotus root (ML) varieties than those in crunchy lotus root (CL) varieties. Additionally, the functions of cellulose-degrading and protein-producing microorganisms, such as Firmicutes, Bacteroides,
