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

backgroundLoquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) fruits are popular for their distinctive flavor and numerous health benefits. However, their short shelf life limits commercial viability. In this study, we sought to evaluate the effect of p-coumaric acid (p-CA) treatment at a concentration of 300 mg·L

resultsThe results indicated that the p-CA treatment reduced fruit chilling injury, prevented fruit rot, and retarded the decomposition of soluble sugar, titratable acid, and phenolic substances. It also reduced accumulation of malondialdehyde, lignin, and other substances to maintain fruit quality. Additionally, p-CA treatment improved antioxidant activity of the fruit by promoting the synthesis of enzymatic antioxidants and activities of antioxidant enzymes.

conclusionsIn summary, p-CA application preserved the quality and enhanced the antioxidant capacity of post-harvest loquat fruits.
