Germination-Driven Modulation of Phenolic Compounds in Sorghum: Bioactivity and Gene Expression.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Controlled germination has emerged as an effective and sustainable bioprocess to enhance the nutritional and functional quality of cereal grains, including sorghum, a climate-resilient crop widely cultivated in tropical and semi-arid regions. Germination triggers coordinated physiological and molecular responses that activate secondary metabolism, particularly the phenylpropanoid pathway, resulting in qualitative and quantitative changes in phenolic compounds. This review summarizes current evidence on germination-driven modulation of sorghum phenolics, with emphasis on bioactivity and genetic regulation. Germination promotes the transcriptional activation of key biosynthetic genes, including those encoding phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and flavonoid pathway enzymes, while regulatory genes associated with condensed tannin biosynthesis, such as
