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

Honey and sweet potato-like aroma Wuyi black tea (WYBT) is highly favored by consumers for its warm and sweet flavor profile. However, the key odor-active compounds underlying this characteristic aroma have remained inadequately characterized. This study systematically characterized the unique honey and sweet potato-like aroma profile of WYBT through molecular sensory science approaches, leading to the identification of 19 key aroma-active compounds. Aroma recombination and omission experiments further established that 2-amylfuran,
