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 pods of Neltuma species have been traditionally used as nutrient-rich sources of food ingredients. However, Neltuma affinis, a native species of South America, remains understudied. This work aimed to produce and characterize powders from different pod fractions (specifically, the endocarp-seeds (ESF) and epicarp-mesocarp (EMF) fractions) by dry grinding, evaluating their physicochemical, nutritional, functional, and cytotoxic properties. The powders showed distinct physical characteristics, including reddish-yellow colorations, average particle size of 564 ± 8 μm in ESF and 394 ± 12 μm in EMF, good flowability, and high particle dispersion. Both fractions were high in total dietary fibre (> 53 ± 6%) and proteins (> 9 ± 2%), with all essential amino acids, being tryptophan the limiting amino acid in both fractions (3.7 ± 0.5 and 4.4 ± 0.6 mg.g
