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

Given the scarce data in the literature regarding the lanthanide content of Greek monofloral honey, Sc (Scandium), Y (Yttrium), La (Lanthanum), Ce (Cerium), Pr (Praseodymium), Nd (Neodymium), Sm (Samarium), Eu (Europium), Gd (Gadolinium), Tb (Terbium), Dy (Dysprosium), Ho (Holmium), Er (Erbium), Tm (Thulium), Yb (Ytterbium), Lu (Lutetium) and Th (Thorium) were determined in honeydew and nectar honey, using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Results showed that, in general, honeydew honey had a higher lanthanide content than nectar honey, even though the determined values were below the limit of quantification. Preliminary reference values in this case for pine honey were Ce (26.82 ± 21.49 ng/L) and La (15.25 ± 11.82 ng/L). Adulteration testing was also performed using elemental analysis coupled to isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA-IRMS), where no adulteration with cheap sugars was detected. Factor analysis identified the principal lanthanides related to honey botanical origin, basically Ce, and the
