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

Near (NIR) and mid (MIR) infrared spectroscopies have been studied as potential methods for non-destructive analyses of the fresh fruits quality. In this study, vitamin C, citric acid, total and reducing sugar content in 'Valência' oranges were evaluated using NIR and MIR spectroscopy with multivariate analysis. The spectral data were used to build up prediction models based on PLS (Partial Least Squares) regression. For vitamin C and citric acid, both NIR (r = 0.72 and 0.77, respectively) and MIR (0.81 and 0.91, respectively) resulted in feasible models. For sugars determination the two techniques presented a strong correlation between the reference values and analytical signals, with low RMSEP and r > 0.70 (NIR: sucrose RMSEP = 12.2 and r = 0.75; glucose RMSEP = 6.77 and r = 0.82; fructose RMSEP = 5.07 and r = 0.81; total sugar RMSEP = 12.1 and r = 0.80; reducing sugar RMSEP = 20.32 and r = 0.82; MIR: sucrose RMSEP = 9.47 and r = 0.80; glucose RMSEP = 6.70 and r = 0.82; fructose RMSEP = 5.20 and r = 0.81; total sugar RMSEP = 11.72 and r = 0.81; reducing sugar RMSEP = 20.42 and r = 0.81). The models developed with MIR presented lower prediction error rates than those made with NIR. Therefore, infrared techniques show applicability to determine of orange quality parameters in a non-destructive way.
