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

Fresh baby leaves are commercially marketed in various mixing ratios and packaging amounts, creating very distinct microenvironmental conditions that significantly affect the postharvest quality of the fresh product. This study investigated the synergistic effect of mixing ratio (50LB, 50% lettuce + 50% spinach; 75LB, 75% lettuce + 25% spinach; 100LB, 100% lettuce) and packaging amount (125F, 125 g; 250F, 250 g) on the antioxidant qualities of baby lettuce and spinach mixes during 9 days of storage at 4 °C. The results showed that 50LB × 250F inhibited the degradation of chlorophyll and carotenoids and preserved 28% higher total antioxidant capacity (TAC), 43% higher total phenolic compounds (TPC), and 20% higher vitamin C (Vit.C) than the mean values of all samples, resulting in 0.8% lower O
