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

Daphne genkwa is a deciduous shrub distributed throughout East Asia and has long been used in traditional medicine. Previous phytochemical investigations have shown that D. genkwa is a rich source of bioactive daphnane diterpenoids. In the present study, a comprehensive structural characterization of daphnane diterpenoids in the flowers of D. genkwa was carried out using an LC-MS/MS-based approach. This approach integrated automated annotation program, manual inspection of MS/MS fragmentation pathways, and phytochemical investigation. It led to the structural characterization of 37 daphnane diterpenoids, including nine previously undescribed compounds. These findings demonstrated that D. genkwa flowers contain structurally diverse daphnane diterpenoids, mainly daphnane orthoesters and polyhydroxy daphnanes. Moreover, the diagnostic MS/MS fragmentation and retention time features established in this study provide reliable LC-MS/MS-based criteria for discriminating closely related structural isomers of polyhydroxy daphnanes that differ in their B-ring structures and acylation patterns.
