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

Bee Pollen is a natural beehive product consisting of a complex mixture of floral pollen, nectar, honey, and bee salivary enzymes. It has gained increasing attention as a valuable functional food. The aim of this study was to characterize eight Bee Pollen samples collected from different Moroccan regions in terms of physicochemical parameters, nutritional composition, mineral profile, phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, individual phenolic compounds and in vitro antidiabetic potential. The samples exhibited acceptable physicochemical parameters, with acceptable energy values ranging from 156.85 to 205.41 kcal/100 g. Potassium and calcium were the predominant minerals with values of 741.82-2116.99 mg/kg and 676.53-2197.15 mg/kg respectively. The total phenolic content ranged between 4.19 and 17.39 mg GAE/g while the total flavonoid content ranged between 0.94 and 3.18 mg QE/g. Bee Pollen extracts exhibited strong antioxidant activity, with DPPH IC
