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 investigated aroma changes in Hui Li red Sichuan pepper across five different harvesting times within their typical optimum period based on 24 traditional solar terms, employing sensory evaluation, electronic nose (E-nose), gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) combined with relative odour activity value (ROAV) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). Sensory analysis indicated that peppers were characterised by green, citrus, minty, sweet, woody, and peppery numbing aroma attributes. E-nose revealed the greatest aroma difference in peppers occurred between the early and late optimum harvest stages. GC-IMS identified 71 volatile compounds, with esters being the most abundant. Six key compounds identified were crucial for distinguishing peppers harvested at different times. Findings provided a valuable contribution to decide the optimal harvest window for Hui Li red Sichuan peppers, maximising their applications in the seasoning industry.
