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 investigates the impact of foliar spraying with different concentrations of nano‑selenium (0, 10, 15, 20, 25 mg/L) on the nutritional value, antioxidant capacity, and volatile compounds of kiwifruit. Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and automated amino acid analysis, we analyzed various parameters in the kiwifruit samples. The results indicated that the total soluble solids, selenium content, vitamin C, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase levels initially increased and then decreased with rising nano‑selenium concentrations, with the 15 mg/L concentration showing the most significant improvement in kiwifruit quality. A total of 109 volatile compounds, primarily aldehydes, ketones, and alcohols, were detected in both the control and the 15 mg/L treated samples, contributing mainly to fatty and grassy aromas. The findings highlight the potential of nano‑selenium treatment to improve both the nutritional and flavor characteristics, offering a valuable reference for cultivating high-quality fruits.
