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

Texture determines the commercial value and processing suitability of jujube fruits. In this study, we analyzed the dynamic changes in textural characteristics, cell wall materials, and cell wall metabolic enzymes during the development of three textural types (soft-, crisp-, and hard-fleshed) of jujube fruits (50-110 days after full bloom, DAFB), combined with cellular structure observations. The results identified 80-90 DAFB as a critical window for texture differentiation. Hard-fleshed fruits exhibited higher hardness, gumminess, chewiness, with elevated levels of ionic- and chelator-soluble pectins and cellulose, and small, tightly packed cells. Soft-fleshed fruits had large cellular cavities (3479.56-5960.56 μm
