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

Phenolics are key components for plant survival and have important medicinal uses for human beings. Nevertheless, the approach for identifying all four types of phenolics is still in need by now. In this study, we developed an approach to elucidate all these phenolics, including anthocyanins, flavanols, chlorogenic acid-related compounds and hydroxycinnamate derivatives in plants, taking purple tomato as material. We identified 58 phenolics and addressed their structures. Among them, there were 15 anthocyanins, 30 flavanols, 8 chlorogenic acid-related compounds and 5 hydroxycinnamate derivatives. In tomato, 29 out of 58 phenolics were not reported previously. By quantification, it was found that the total phenolics were more concentrated in the fruit peel, compared to plant leaves and the fruit flesh. Based on these phenolics, we proposed five possible pathways in flavonols, anthocyanins and hydroxycinnamate derivatives. These findings provide new insight into identification and metabolic variation of phenolics in plants.
