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

α-Glucosidase is a key therapeutic target for postprandial glucose control, but most clinically available inhibitors also inhibit α-amylase, leading to gastrointestinal side effects. Natural polyphenols have been widely reported as potent and selective α-glucosidase inhibitors, primarily based on screening assays using yeast enzyme and synthetic substrates. In this study, thirteen flavonoids and five chalcones were initially evaluated using this conventional approach to elucidate the structural determinants of selective α-glucosidase inhibition. Among them, genistein and myricetin emerged as the most potent inhibitors of yeast α-glucosidase, with IC
