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

Atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) is a novel non-thermal technology which increases shelf-life of food. The aim of this research to evaluate the effects of ACP treatment on antioxidant activity (AOA), total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and rutin and quercetin levels of Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) flour (BF) and grain (BG). Whole buckwheat grains and flour were subjected to a dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor for 5 and 10 min at 50 and 60 kV. Results demonstrated the significant impact of ACP treatment on phenolics, flavonoids, especially rutin, and antioxidant activity. BF sample treated at 50 kV-10 min (S2), and BG sample treated at 60 kV-5 min (S3) showed the most AOA (92.25 ± 0.03, 89.69 ± 0.04% by DPPH and, 48.09 ± 0.05, 42.88 ± 0.03 mmol Fe
