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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to phytochemically profile Himantoglossum robertianum leaves. In fact, despite its wide distribution and its use in traditional medicine, this orchid is still understudied and little is known about its phytochemicals.

methodsThe analyses were performed by

resultsThis work brings to light a surprising phytochemical parallel between H. robertianum and the medicinal orchid Gastrodia elata. In fact, the most abundant specialized metabolites resulted: gastrodigenin, gastrodin, bis(4-hydroxybenzyl)ether, parishin A, parishin C, and parishin E. Interestingly, these metabolites are all known for their potential in the treatment of neurological disorders and are, indeed, the active principles of Gastrodia elata, an important orchid used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The active metabolites were present in all the natural populations, where only slight variations in their concentration were revealed.

conclusionMapping the metabolome of H. robertianum leaves has provided new insights into the study of orchids, including diagnostic signals for rapid identification of gastrodigenin-like compounds directly from the
