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
This study developed candied pumpkin using Jerusalem artichoke syrup as an alternative to sucrose and evaluated its physicochemical properties, microstructure, sensory quality, and storage stability. Five formulations with Jerusalem artichoke syrup-to-pumpkin ratios of 1.25:1.00-1.30:1.00 were compared with a sucrose-based control. Syrup-based samples contained more protein (0.96-0.99 g/100 g) and fewer carbohydrates (21.25-23.35 g/100 g) than the control (0.40 and 40.40 g/100 g, respectively). Their caloric values ranged from 90.37 to 99.34 kcal/100 g, compared with 163.20 kcal/100 g in the control. Initial hardness was lower in syrup-based samples (30-40 kPa) than in the control (45 kPa), indicating a less rigid texture. Microstructural analysis showed preserved fibrous organization and a more uniform matrix, particularly in Sample 3 (1.27:1.00). This formulation also showed favorable sensory characteristics and higher contents of vitamin C, pantothenic acid, niacin, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, and iron. During storage, moisture content decreased and water activity increased gradually but remained below 0.60. Microbial counts remained within permissible limits for 9 months, with no detectable coliforms or pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, Jerusalem artichoke syrup may be considered a promising sucrose substitute for producing candied pumpkin with improved nutritional value and acceptable storage stability.
