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

Antibiotic residues in edible crops have become an increasing food safety concern, yet their impacts on crop nutritional quality and bioactive composition remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the effects of tetracycline, a widely used antibiotic in soil-vegetable systems, on the growth and nutritional quality and bioactive composition of soybean sprouts. Results showed tetracycline exposure significantly inhibited sprout growth and nutrient accumulation in a dose-dependent manner, with high concentrations reducing vitamin C, total flavonoids, and coumestrol contents by approximately 50 %, 30 %, and 43 %, respectively. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that these related declines were associated with disruptions in carbon, amino acid, and lipid metabolism, as well as in flavonoid and coumestrol biosynthesis pathways. In parallel, rhizosphere microbiota analysis showed that tetracycline reshaped microbial community structure by reducing nitrogen-cycling-related taxa (
