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

While jujube pigment color properties are well documented, its full flavor profile and specific non-volatile constituents remain understudied. Jujube pigments from three sources-jujube production waste residue (BJP), fresh jujubes (FJP), and dried jujubes (DJP)-were compared for non-volatile compounds and flavor profiles. Using SEM, electronic tongue, and UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. SEM showed BJP thin - flaky, FJP/DJP blocky (FJP dispersed, DJP compact); BJP better water - soluble. All three share five core tastes-umami, saltiness, bitterness, sweetness, and aftertaste-B-with FJP strongest in umami, saltiness, and bitterness, and BJP highest in sweetness. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS tentatively identified 25 compounds, including flavonoids, phenolic acids, phenols, and anthraquinones; PLS-DA highlighted 13 key differential compounds. Bitterness, aftertaste-B, umami, richness, and saltiness correlated significantly with caffeic acid, 5-hydroxy-3',4',7-trimethyloxyethanol, syringic acid, and quercetin; sweetness correlated with trans-4-coumaric acid and quercetin-3-O-neohesperidin-these six compounds are candidate biomarkers. Findings clarify composition/sensory differences, pinpoint key components, support future research.
