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

Cauliflower curd color influences nutritional quality and consumer preference. Using non-targeted metabolomics, we profiled four cultivars (white, green, yellow, gold). White curds accumulated more soluble sugars, while colored curds showed elevated tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates and secondary metabolites. Green curds were enriched for chlorophyll-associated amino acids, sulforaphane and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), whereas yellow/gold curds accumulated more flavonoids and phenolic acids. These metabolic differences were linked to enhanced antioxidant potential and flavor diversity. This hypothesis-generating study provides a metabolic basis for breeding nutritionally enhanced cauliflower varieties.
