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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesAs a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, Cnidii Fructus is widely used in clinical practice. Its volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are closely related to its antipruritic effect and insecticidal properties. Due to the susceptibility of this medicinal herb to mold contamination, adopting appropriate sterilization measures is of great significance for its storage.
methodsThis study employed Gas Chromatography-Ion Mobility Spectrometry (GC-IMS) combined with multivariate statistical analysis to systematically investigate the influence of different
resultsA total of 115 VOCs were tentatively identified. Statistical analysis revealed dose-dependent effects: 3 kGy irradiation caused the least compositional perturbation, best preserving original chemical characteristics; 6 kGy induced more pronounced compositional changes; and 9 kGy triggered substantial chemical composition reconstruction. Differential metabolite enrichment analysis indicated that medium and high doses of irradiation primarily perturbed central carbon metabolic pathways, including pyruvate metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism. Key differential components were tentatively identified (e.g., α-Thujone, α-Pinene, β-Pinene) that possess pharmacological activities closely associated with the traditional efficacy of Cnidii Fructus.
conclusionsWhen the irradiation dose is 3 kGy, the VOCs profile of Cnidii Fructus is most similar to that of the non-irradiated control group, suggesting that its compositional profile may be closer to that of traditional high-quality medicinal materials. Meanwhile, the differential metabolites and core metabolic pathways identified in this study can provide a chemical reference for the quality control of irradiated Cnidii Fructus. The findings provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the rational application of
