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

Using a polyethylene glycol (PEG)/ammonium sulfate system, a novel approach for one-step extraction and separation of the flavonoid aglycones from Malvaviscus arboreus Cav. flower (MACF) was developed by combining ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) with acidified aqueous two-phase extraction (AATPE). Under the optimized UAE-AATPE conditions of PEG 600 of 22.8 % (w/w), ammonium sulfate of 22.5 % (w/w), 1.5 mol/L HCl, hydrolysis temperature of 85 ℃, and reaction time of 60 min, MACF flavonoid glycosides were not only fully extracted but also completely hydrolyzed, and the produced aglycones were purified by biphasic separation with a yield of 35.90 ± 0.96 mg/g. The mechanism in the UAE-AATPE process including UAE and ultrasonic-assisted acid hydrolysis (UAAH), was explored by investigating the different procedures and chemical composition under an ultrasonic field. The deglycosylated/glycosylated flavonoids were identified and quantified by high-resolution ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q/Orbitrap-MS) and UHPLC-DAD, revealing that MACF flavonoids were mainly composed of pelargonidin, kaempferol, catechin, cyanidin and quercetin in descending order of their content. The inhibitory assay on pancreatic lipase (PL) confirmed that the activity of the extracted aglycones with IC
