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

This study aimed to investigate the tryptophan and tyrosine-derived metabolites in traditional fermented foods. For that purpose, kynurenine, kynurenic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, indole-3-propionic acid, phenol, and p-cresol levels were analyzed using High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Tryptophan metabolite levels ranged from 62.4 to 718.5 µg/100 g for kynurenine, 1.1 to 340.0 µg/100 g for kynurenic acid, 0.0 to 36.6 µg/100 g for indole-3-acetic acid, and 0.0 to 72.5 µg/100 g for indole-3-propionic acid. Tyrosine metabolite levels ranged from 4.4 to 115.7 µg/100 g for phenol and 0.0 to 7.2 µg/100 g for p-cresol. Traditional, fermented, and aged products such as tarhana appear to contain high levels of various metabolites of tryptophan metabolism. Phenol levels were also found to be high in tarhana products and aged dairy products. p-cresol levels remained generally low, with significantly high levels found only in aged cheddar cheese. These results suggest that microbial fermentation and long-term maturation may be associated with differences in the biochemical composition of the fermented foods. It is of great importance to evaluate fermented products in terms of metabolites with neuroactive and inflammatory potential.
