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

Carrot is an important root vegetable to the food industry and consumers due to its nutritional and health benefits. Given the high moisture content and low shelf life of fresh carrots, preserving this highly demanded vegetable is vital. This current research modelled the drying kinetics and evaluated the quality of ultrasonic-assisted gum Arabic and ethanol pretreated and oven-dried carrot slices. Fresh carrots were processed into thin slices and immersed in 3% gum Arabic (GA), ethanol (99.9%), and distilled water (control), followed by ultrasonication (frequency: 50 Hz, power: 500 W, temperature: 25 °C) for 10 min and drying in a hot air oven at 50 °C. The loss of moisture from the carrots was periodically recorded, converted to moisture ratio before fitted to eleven semi-theoretical thin layer drying mathematical models. The effects of the pretreatments on the retention of bioactive compounds and carrots' physical and chemical properties were also evaluated. From the tested models, the Diffusion, Modified Henderson and Pabis, and Two-term models showed the best fitting (R
