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
Introduction: Summer savory is still not investigated thoroughly despite its potential and beneficial effects. Therefore, we aimed to investigate its chemical profile, thermal properties, extraction kinetics, and to optimize extraction process. Methods: Herein, an artificial neural network (ANN) was used as a nonlinear regression-based optimization model to optimize the microwave-assisted extraction of summer savory leaves. To achieve the goal, 17 experiments were conducted, combining different extraction times (20-40 min), ethanol concentrations (68-80%), and irradiation powers (400-800 W). Investigated responses included total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), DPPH, and ABTS assays. Kinetics was investigated by using four models, while thermal behavior was studied using DSC and TGA. Results: The highest outputs were: 256.36 mg GAE/g (GAE-gallic acid equivalents) (40 min, 40% ethanol, and 600 W) for TPC, 35.78 mg RU/g (rutin equivalents) (40 min, 60% ethanol, and 400 W) for TFC, 15.89 μg/mL (20 min, 60% ethanol, and 400 W) for DPPH, and 23.06 μg/mL (30 min, 60% ethanol, and 600 W) for ABTS. As a result of optimization, we obtained optimal extraction conditions (40 min, 52.8% ethanol, and 656.1 W) and predicted responses (246.50 mg GAE/g for TPC, 35.66 mg RU/g for TFC, and IC Discussion: The validity of the developed ANN model has been confirmed experimentally after preparing the extract under optimal conditions. Kinetic modeling showed that Model II provided the best fit for TFC, while Model IV provided the best fit for TPC. Optimally prepared extract showed high antioxidant activity and thermal behavior and could be used in food and pharmaceutical industry as an additive.
