Effect of UV-C followed by storage on the fungal growth and aflatoxins content and storability characteristics of sesame (
Article in Heliyon, 2023. 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
Background: UV-C has been suggested as an alternative technology in controlling food spoilage by primary and secondary pests. Its effects on the storability characteristics of sesame seeds during storage were evaluated. Methods: The UV-C (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 kJ m Results: Applying the UV-C caused a significant reduction in the fungal growth, a Conclusion: UV-C treatment potentially shows effective quarantine security as an alternative method to chemical disinfection procedures to prolong the shelf life and improve the storability characteristics of sesame seeds.
