Nutritional and Physiological Effects of Postharvest UV Radiation on Vegetables: A Review.
Review in Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Effective ultraviolet (UV) irradiation has been used as a postharvest technology to reduce decay, delay ripening, and delay senescence in crop products. In this review, the effects of UV radiation of different wavelengths and doses on physiological and phytochemical parameters in postharvest vegetables are discussed in summary, including appearance (color and texture), microbial load, respiration rate, enzymatic antioxidant system, and various bioactive compounds (phenolic compounds, carotenoids, chlorophylls, vitamins, glucosinolates, betalains, and antioxidant activities). In particular, postharvest UV radiation affects oxidative metabolism and increases the antioxidant activity of plant products, which could help delay yellowing and senescence of vegetables, trigger defense responses, and reduce decay and diseases. In some cases, irradiation stimulates the synthesis of bioactive secondary metabolites that may improve the nutritional value of vegetables. The findings presented in this review are very useful and valuable for the preservation and improvement of the nutritional quality of vegetables after harvest. It will also provide scientific support for industrial and commercial applications of UV radiation in postharvest.
