Unveiling the quality profiles of honey from selected districts of South Wollo, Ethiopia.

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
The study was conducted to assess the physico-chemical characteristics of honey collected from selected districts of the South Wollo Zone of Amhara region, Ethiopia. Thirty honey samples from modern hives were collected across two harvesting seasons and three different agro-ecologies. The result revealed that, the average values for major quality parameters were 19.14 meqkg-1 for the free acidity (FA), 17.43% for the moisture content (MC), 0.09% for the ash content (AC), 3.13 for the pH and 5.49 mg/kg for hydroxyl-methyl-furfural (HMF), respectively. The results for the highland region showed significant influences of harvest season on ash and HMF contents of honey samples from Dessie Zuria district at p < 0.05 significant levels. In midland agro-ecology, season had a significant effect only on FA and HMF content at p < 0.05 significant levels. In the lowland agroecology, only HMF levels were influenced by season at p < 0.05. In general, no quality parameters varied significantly between harvesting seasons at p > 0.05, except ash content and HMF content at p < 0.05. Honey from the first season had the highest ash content (0.13 ± 0.0), while honey from the second season had a higher HMF content (9.25 ± 1.2). In general, the physico-chemical properties of the honey samples were within the range specified for established honey quality standards.
