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
Retronasal aroma strongly influences the flavor quality of low-alcohol Jiangxiangxing Baijiu. This study investigated the retronasal aroma differences between high- and low-alcohol samples (Sample-High and Sample-Low). Dynamic sensory evaluation revealed roasted, grain, floral and fruity, hay, and caramel notes were more pronounced in Sample-High, whereas Sample-Low exhibited stronger fatty and smoky notes, indicating insufficient retronasal aroma richness in Sample-Low. Analysis of 67 compounds showed no significant concentration differences, yet their retronasal olfactory thresholds varied markedly between alcoholic systems (ratio 1.04-4.75), leading to higher dose-over-threshold (DoT) values for several compounds in Sample-Low. Further analysis of the DoT distribution intervals showed Sample-High presented a more balanced distribution, whereas Sample-Low was strongly driven by several high-contribution compounds, which reduced the relative contributions of others. This unbalanced distribution may underlie the lower retronasal aroma richness observed in Sample-Low. These findings provide a new perspective for understanding retronasal aroma in low-alcohol Jiangxiangxing Baijiu.
