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
Aroma is a key quality indicator of citrus, especially an important sensory trait of aromatic acidic citrus germplasm. Nevertheless, systematic research of aroma formation and its molecular regulation in aromatic acidic citrus remain limited. In this study, eleven representative aromatic acidic citrus varieties, including, Kabosu, Xiang yuan, citrumelo, citrange, and seven yuzu cultivars, were selected to characterize their aroma profiles and underlying regulatory mechanisms. Electronic nose analysis showed that aromas of aromatic acidic citrus were mainly perceived by sensors W5S, W1S, W1W, W2S, and W2W. In addition, the aroma characteristics of Kabosu and citrumelo are distinctly different from other varieties. Volatile metabolomic analysis revealed that terpenoids were the predominant aroma compounds of citrus. Key volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified based on relative odor activity values (rOAV > 1), with 1-p-menthen-8-thiol, 3-mercapto-3-methylbutyl formate, and 3-Octen-2-one exhibiting higher rOAV across all varieties, largely contributing to the citrus aroma characteristics. Among key VOCs, safranal showed the greatest inter-varietal variation, with the highest variable importance in projection value, and was identified as one of the characteristic VOCs. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis further identified the green (1-p-menthen-8-thiol), tan (3-mercapto-3-methylbutyl formate and 3-Octen-2-one), and graygreen (safranal) gene modules as being significantly correlated with these key VOCs. Notably, the hub genes
