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

Carotenoid oxidative cleavage products (apocarotenoids; APOs) represent an important class of specialized metabolites that exert diverse and important biological functions. Apocarotenoids are precursors of the plant hormones abscisic acid and strigolactones, pigments such as crocin and picrocrocin, and volatiles such as β-ionone and β-cyclocitral. Recently, carotenoid-derived bioactive metabolites such as zaxinone, anchorene, β-cyclocitral, and retinal have been identified as plant root growth regulators. Analysis of plant APOs is crucial for elucidating their biological function and metabolism as well as for determining their content in food. In this chapter, we describe an efficient protocol for a simultaneous analysis of plant APOs utilizing ultra-high performance liquid chromatographic (UPLC) separation and tandem mass spectrometry (MS). Additionally, we introduce practical details to assist researchers in setting up their experiments, extraction, and analysis of APOs.
