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

Economically motivated adulteration of powdered ginger with low-cost cereal flours represents an increasing concern for food authenticity and quality control. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a rapid, reliable, and non-destructive method for the quantitative determination of powdered ginger adulteration using visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy coupled with chemometric modelling. Ginger powder samples were adulterated with wheat, corn, and rice flours at concentrations ranging from 5 to 50% (
