Unraveling the science of "sinking and dark-colored" superior agarwood through density, color, and metabolomics.

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
Agarwood is a highly precious heartwood containing aromatic resin, which can be used both as medicine and incense. The consumption centers of agarwood are distributed worldwide, and many countries place great emphasis on the quality evaluation of agarwood. Throughout history, the appearance and physical characteristics of agarwood, such as sinkability and color, have often been used as indicators for quality assessment and commercial grading. However, the scientific basis of grading agarwood purely on appearance warrants additional exploration. In this study, 24 batches of agarwood were subjected to traditional sinkability tests and density measurements. The results revealed that samples floating wholly on the sea surface had densities ranging from 0.4465 to 0.7135, whereas samples partially or completely submerged had densities ranging from 0.5494 to 0.9075. Samples that sank completely to the bottom had densities above 1.0, confirming the consistency between sinkability and density. Using an intelligent visual analyzer, the appearance color of agarwood was digitally characterized. Combined with density results, it was found that as density increased, the overall
