Non-destructive methods for fruit quality evaluation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
This work studies the evolution in time of several varieties of apples with application in quality storage maintenance. Two different methods were used to evaluate long-stored apples for better sorting and degradation assessment. The first method was laser photoacoustic spectroscopy for the detection of ethylene and ethanol compounds from the internal atmosphere of apples. The second method was multispectral imaging that measures the image and the spectrum combined and also can be used to address features such as ripening and external defects. The experiments showed that, the ethylene value decreases and the value of ethanol increases, which sometimes we may associate with a drift of the images toward darker tones, because the apple is slowly degrading. Non-invasive, real-time inspection can reveal when the degradation process begins, improving the capability of sorting, maintaining their quality and storability.
