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

This study addresses the need to generate data on the attributes of black huckleberries and soapberries growing in the traditional territory of the Syilx/Okanagan Nation. Black huckleberry were larger, with lower pH, soluble solids and titratable acidity than soapberry. Soapberry had higher dry matter, protein, and fat, similar ash, but lower carbohydrate content. Black huckleberry had higher levels (mg/100 g) of Ca (103), Mg (54), and Mn (8.8), whereas soapberry contained more K (795), P (166), B (0.86), Zn (0.85), Fe (2.25), and Cu (0.53). Glucose (252.3, 204.17 mg/g) and fructose (281.7, 203.49 mg/g) were the predominant sugars in both species. Arabinose (5.48, 23.21 mg/g) was present, yet no sucrose was detected. Citric acid was the dominant organic acid in both species (55.79, 53.43 mg/g). Black huckleberry exhibited higher total phenolic and anthocyanin contents. Both species demonstrated α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, with black huckleberry showing greater inhibition (64-88 % vs. 20-33 %).
