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

Almond (Prunus amygdalus L.), a species of the Rosaceae family, is valued for its high content of unsaturated fatty acids, proteins, minerals, and bioactive compounds with potent antioxidant activity. These nutritional qualities make almonds not only beneficial for human health but also a valuable resource for the food industry. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional profile, fatty acid composition, antioxidant activity, and mineral content of five Iranian almond cultivars. The analysis was conducted using a completely randomized design. Proximate compositions (fat, protein, carbohydrate, ash, moisture, fiber, and energy), total oil content, fatty acid profiles (via GC-FID), antioxidant capacity (DPPH assay), and essential minerals (K, Ca, Mg, Na, and P) were measured. The highest fat content (28.73 g/100 g DW), total energy (426.84 kcal/100 g), and total oil content (33.19%) were found in Sangi Azar Shahr. Yamatga Shabestar exhibited the highest protein content (26.51%) and the lowest IC50 (13.88 µg/mL), indicating strong antioxidant capacity. Azar Tasuj had the highest mineral content, particularly K (749 mg/100 g DW), Na (643 mg/ 100 g DW), Ca (716.33 mg/100 g DW), and Mg (651.23 mg/100 g DW). Oleic acid (up to 57.24%) and linoleic acid (26.15%) were the dominant fatty acids, followed by palmitic acid (11.63%) and stearic acids (3.65%). These results highlight significant variations among cultivars in their biochemical properties and suggest the potential of specific genotypes for use in health-oriented food products, pharmaceutical applications, and breeding programs.
