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

key messageCRaman imaging combined with a multi-layer perceptron neural network enables non-destructive, label-freeclassifi cation of tobacco BY-2 cells based on carotenoid composition. Carotenoids are natural tetraterpenoid pigments with important nutritional properties and broad industrial applications. Enhancing their production in plant-based biofactories offers a sustainable alternative to current manufacturing processes. In this work, we developed a label-free, single-cell analytical platform combining Raman imaging with a multi-layer perceptron neural network to classify tobacco BY-2 cells based on their carotenoid content. Carotenoid standards analysis, including astaxanthin, canthaxanthin, and β-carotene, was performed by surface-enhanced Raman scattering using hydrophobic gold nanostars due to the low concentration available. This analysis allowed the assignment of characteristic Raman peaks, specifically at 1160 cm
