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
Introduction: Iodide is an essential trace nutrient in foods like seaweed, seafood, and iodized salt, with balanced intake critical for thyroid function and metabolic health. Accurate trace detection is key for nutrition evaluation and iodide deficiency prevention. Existing methods often face challenges in complex food matrices, so this study aimed to construct a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-stabilized silver nanocluster (AgNCs@PVP) fluorescent probe for trace iodide detection in seaweed. Methods: AgNCs@PVP probes were synthesized via chemical reduction with PVP as a stabilizer, characterized by UV-Vis, TEM, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The iodide detection system was optimized for pH, reaction time, and probe concentration. Seaweed samples were pretreated by crushing, soaking, microwave-assisted extraction, protein precipitation, centrifugation, and pH adjustment. Sample solutions were mixed with AgNCs@PVP, and fluorescence intensity was measured at 340 nm excitation. Linear range, detection limit, selectivity, recovery, and repeatability were evaluated. Results: Iodide significantly quenched AgNCs@PVP fluorescence, showing a good linear response (0.29 μM-280 μM) with a detection limit of 56 nM. Common interfering substances in seaweed had no obvious impact on detection. The system exhibited good recovery (92.3-105.6%) and repeatability (RSD < 3.0%) in seaweed sample analysis. Synthesized AgNCs@PVP were spherical, uniformly dispersed (average size ~3.3 nm), and had stable fluorescence properties. Discussion: The AgNCs@PVP probe integrates PVP's stabilizing effect and AgNCs' excellent fluorescence performance, achieving sensitive and selective iodide detection. Its low detection limit and wide linear range address the needs of trace analysis in complex seaweed matrices, overcoming the drawbacks of traditional methods (cumbersome operation, poor selectivity). This study provides a rapid, reliable method for food iodide detection, supporting rational iodide intake and food nutritional safety.
