Investigating the Impact of Dragon Fruit Peel Waste on Starch Digestibility, Pasting, and Thermal Properties of Flours Used in Asia.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
As a by-product of dragon fruit consumption, dragon fruit peel (DFP) was developed into powder as a natural ingredient. Nevertheless, the effect of DFP on the physicochemical properties of flours used in Asian food processing and cooking remains unknown. In this study, starch digestibility, thermal, pasting, and physicochemical properties of DFP and flours (potato, rice, glutinous rice, and wheat) were characterized. It was found that DFP contained 65.2% dietary fiber together with phenolic compounds, betacyanins, and antioxidant activity. The results demonstrated that DFP (from 125 to 500 mg) reduced starch digestibility of flours, rapidly digestible starch, and slowly digestible starch, along with an increased proportion of undigested starch. A marked increase in phenolic compounds, betacyanins, and antioxidant activity occurred when DFP and flour were incubated for 180 min under simulated gastrointestinal digestion. The results indicate that bioactive compounds in DFP were highly bioaccessible and remained intact after digestion. Moreover, DFP exerted a significantly lower gelatinization enthalpy of flours with increasing peak viscosity and setback with decreasing pasting temperature. FTIR confirmed the decreased ratio at 1047/1022 cm
