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

Anhua Qianliang tea, a traditionally crafted dark tea, is highly prized for its unique sensory properties that develop and improve during long-term aging. To elucidate the material basis driving the quality transformation of Anhua Qianliang tea during prolonged storage, samples aged for 2 to 25 years were investigated using physicochemical analysis, untargeted metabolomics, and sensory evaluation. Prolonged storage reduced total polyphenols, free amino acids, and most catechins, whereas alkaloids remained relatively stable. Phenylpropanoids and polyketides, organic acids and derivatives, and lipids and lipid-like molecules were the main metabolite classes contributing to storage-stage discrimination, accompanied by extensive remodeling of flavonoid, phenylpropanoid, amino acid-related, and central carbon metabolism. Sensory evolution was closely associated with coordinated changes in catechins, polyphenols, phenolic acids, amino acid-related compounds, and storage-responsive metabolites. These insights significantly deepen the understanding of dark tea maturation and offer new perspectives for scientific evaluation and industrial standardization.
