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: Lipoic acid (LA) is a key, yet overlooked player in primary metabolism, due to its role as a cofactor for various multi enzymatic complexes such as the E2 subunits of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (kGDH). In recent years, this molecule has seen renewed interest given its strong antioxidant properties and its applications as a dietary supplement. The mechanisms behind the synthesis of LA in vivo have been elucidated, identifying lipoyl synthase (LIP1) as the key enzyme required for this process. Methods: Therefore, in this work, we used the fruit-specific polygalacturonase (PG) promoter to guide Results: The resulting plants presented higher transcript levels of Discussion: In addition, as the overexpression of
