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

Chinese home-cooked dishes (CHCDs) link agricultural production and daily consumption, but their resource dependence and sustainability remain poorly quantified. We standardized 341 recipes from China's 34 provincial-level administrative regions, conducted a production-to-consumption analysis using emergy (solar-equivalent available energy directly and indirectly required for a product or service), and evaluated six optimization scenarios. Mean emergy input was 5.93 × 10
