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

Synephrine is a chiral compound that exists as two enantiomers, the (R)- and (S)-forms. The present study investigated the effects of pH and heating conditions on the isomerization of synephrine. Each enantiomer was quantified after FMOC derivatization using chiral liquid chromatography with UV detection (chiral-LC/UV). When (R)-synephrine was incubated under acidic or neutral conditions at elevated temperatures, isomerization was promoted in a temperature-dependent manner under both conditions. The isomerization rate under the acidic condition was approximately 10- to 40-fold higher than that under the neutral condition, and the time-dependent progression followed pseudo-first-order kinetics under both conditions. Analysis of physicochemical parameters, including the activation entropy (ΔS
