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

The present study aimed to investigate whether Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy could be effectively applied for the botanical origin confirmation of monofloral (fir, thyme, pine) and flower/polyfloral (flower, citrus, asfaka, and mixtures) honey in accordance with melissopalynological analysis, and to unveil the adulteration of monofloral honey with flower/polyfloral honey. Fifty-nine samples were subjected first to melissopalynological analysis to record the dominant pollen flora. Afterwards, ATR-FTIR analysis identified the dominant spectral regions of interest. Among them, 3300-3200 cm
