Biochemical evaluations of Ethiopian sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] accessions for sugar production.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is one of the varieties of sorghum having stalk with high concentration of soluble sugar. Biochemical evaluations of sweet sorghum enable it to determine the potential of the crop to be utilized for sugar production at industrial level. This study was designed to evaluate the Ethiopian sweet sorghum germplasms for production of crystalized sugar. In this study, 91 sweet sorghum accessions were evaluated based on total soluble sugar content. As a result, 8 accessions having high total soluble sugar scores were selected and evaluated for further biochemical quality traits. In addition, three agronomic parameters were used to evaluate their effect on the biochemical features of the studied sweet sorghum and sugarcane accessions. These traits include total soluble sugar (degree brix), polarization, sucrose content, sugar purity, days to maturity, stem height and stalk diameter. Three high quality sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) genotypes collected from Kessem sugar industry of Ethiopia were used as standard checks. Analysis of variance (ANOVA); mean separation and correlation were analyzed using R-software. ANOVA revealed significant variations for polarization value and purity of sweet sorghum juice at p ≤ 0.001. The mean separation analysis revealed that maximum and minimum degree brix were obtained from T-11 (20.23%) and T-28 (16.88%), respectively. In the present study, the polarization values ranged from 41.57 (T-28) to 69.30
