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

Natural naphthoquinone (NQ) dyes are gaining attention as safer and more sustainable alternative to synthetic colorants, and their glycosylation can enhance solubility and stability. In the present study, a novel, extracellular, highly stable, glycosylated derivative of NQ pigments (2-O-β-L-arabinofuranosyl-5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, C₁₅H₁₆O₈) was produced by the mangrove epiphytic fungus, Aspergillus unguis. Pigment production kinetics and solubility testing indicated the secondary metabolic behavior and high polarity of the pigment. HPLC separated the pigment into two isomeric fractions with retention times of 4.840 and 6.020 min. Structural characterization was supported by several analyses, with a λ
