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

The consumption of chia seeds has surged in recent years, primarily due to their beneficial chemical composition and health effects. Sprouting chia seeds can enhance the content of essential nutrients, including antioxidants and vitamins. The study investigates the impact of sprouting on the bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of chia seeds under both favorable and stressful conditions. Chia seeds were sprouted in tap water, distilled water, and varying concentrations of seawater. The parameters analyzed included antioxidant activity, the reducing capacity of antioxidants, total polyphenol content, flavonoid content, and phenolic profile. Results indicated that sprouting significantly influences antioxidant activity in seeds sprouted in tap and distilled water, with a decrease observed only in the 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzothiazol-6-sulfonate) method for distilled water. Additionally, sprouting in both water types led to a statistically significant increase (
