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

Verifying the geographical origin of honey is crucial for its market value and for preventing fraudulent practices. This study aimed to characterize the chemical profiles of organic honeys from three distinct regions in Southeastern Türkiye-Şırnak Faraşin, Siirt Merkez, and Siirt Pervari-to establish a robust method for geographical authentication. A total of 51 multifloral honey samples were analyzed. The concentrations of 20 free amino acids (FAAs) and 16 phenolic compounds were quantified using (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS). The resulting data were subjected to both an unsupervised (PCA, CA) and supervised (PLS-DA, RF, SVM) chemometric analysis to identify biochemical markers for each region. The results revealed a distinct chemical fingerprint for each region. Based on the FAA profiles, the PLS-DA method provided the best overall classification, achieving an excellent discrimination with a total accuracy of 94.1% in the Şırnak Faraşin honeys. For the phenolic compound profiles, the RF method achieved the highest correct classification rate for Şırnak Faraşin honeys at 88.2%. This study demonstrates that an integrated approach, combining FAA and phenolic profiles with supervised chemometric methods, provides a successful and reliable model for determining the geographical origin of these multifloral honeys.
