Effect of Microwave-Based Dry Blanching on Drying of Potato Slices: A Comparative Study.
Article in ACS omega, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Microwave (MW)-based dry blanching can inactivate oxidative enzymes like peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) rapidly and retain a higher amount of water-soluble nutrients, like ascorbic acid. This study compared the MW-based dry blanching of potato slices of various thicknesses (5, 8, and 10 mm) with conventional methods (water and steam blanching). The time required for water and steam blanching was longer than that required for MW blanching. Potato slices of 10 mm thickness required a longer blanching duration compared with slices of a lesser thickness (5 and 8 mm). The MW-blanched samples (77.37-83.5%) retained a higher content of ascorbic acid, followed by steam-blanched (69.15-74.92%) and water-blanched (67.18-71.54%) samples. The Page, modified Page, Midilli-Kucuk, and Hii, Law, and Cloke models predicted the thin layer drying of potato slices (5 mm thickness) better with a higher coefficient of determination values (0.9607-0.9976) compared to Fick's and Exponential models (0.8942-0.9444).
