Extraction and characterization of pectin from watermelon rind using acetic acid.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
In this work, watermelon rind was used for extraction of pectin with acetic acid solution. The effects of pH, temperature and extraction time on the pectin yield were investigated. Response surface based on Box-Behnken model was employed to optimize the extraction parameters. The model shows an optimum pectin yield of 18.21%, which is in agreement with the value confirmed through experiment (18.20%). The moisture content, ash content, degree of esterification, degree of methylation, equivalent weight, methoxy content, and anhydrouronic acid of the extracted pectin were determined. The values of the moisture content, ash content, degree of esterification, degree of methylation, equivalent weight, methoxy content, anhydrouronic acid are 8.42%, 5.1%, 57.30%, 23.5%, 983.9 mg/mol, 7.3% and 72.36%, respectively. The results show watermelon peel can be an alternative source for pectin production with reasonable pectin yield and pectin quality.
