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

Erigeron breviscapus (Vant.) Hand-Mazz possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, yet its therapeutic application is limited by the low yield of active components. Fermentation technology offers a promising strategy for enhancing the enrichment of these bioactive compounds. In this study, anaerobic self-induced fermentation was identified as the most effective approach among 12 evaluated fermentation strategies. Under optimized conditions, this method markedly increased the production of scutellarein-achieving a 20.35-fold enhancement-while reducing microbial α-diversity and inducing notable community restructuring, characterized by a shift from Proteobacteria to Firmicutes in bacteria and from Ascomycota to Basidiomycota in fungi. Metabolomic analysis revealed 223 differentially expressed metabolites, primarily enriched in flavonoid biosynthesis and phenylalanine metabolism pathways. Key bacterial genera, including Clostridium and Bacillus, showed strong correlations with increased flavonoid accumulation. Furthermore, the anaerobically self-fermented extract exhibited significantly enhanced antibacterial and antioxidant activities. These findings demonstrate that anaerobic self-induced fermentation represents an effective and targeted bioprocessing strategy for amplifying the bioactivity and therapeutic potential of E. breviscapus.
