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

This study presents an innovative approach to differentiate Southern Greek yellow prickly pear samples according to geographical origin based on physicochemical parameters, mineral composition, and bioactive compounds using advanced chemometrics. A total of 56 yellow prickly pear samples were collected from four distinct Greek regions (Crete, Paros, Symi, Peloponnese) during the 2019 and 2020 harvest seasons. A multi-platform analytical strategy was employed, combining classical physicochemical analyses and UV spectrophotometry for total antioxidant activity with cutting-edge techniques such as UPLC-MS/MS for precise quantification of vitamins and antioxidants, and ICP-MS for mineral profiling. In total, thirteen physicochemical parameters, nineteen macro-, micro-, and trace elements, nine vitamins, and seven antioxidants were identified and quantified. Application of MANOVA and Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) revealed that eight physicochemical parameters, ten mineral elements, and sixteen bioactive compounds played a crucial role in sample geographical differentiation. The classification success rates using the cross-validation method were 82.1% for physicochemical parameters, 75.0% for minerals, and an impressive 96.4% for vitamins and antioxidants highlighting the robust tool for the geographical differentiation of Southern Greek yellow prickly pears.
