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

The influence of pre-treatments and different dehydrating temperatures on the drying dynamics, energy consumption, and quality attribute of yam chips was studied. Dehydration was executed employing a convectional oven dryer under four temperatures (50, 60, 70, and 80 °C) and 2.0 m/s air velocity. Yam chips were subjected to pre-treatment conditions of blanching (for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 min), citric acid (1 and 5 %), and ascorbic acid (1 and 5 %) solutions whereas, untreated yam chips samples served as the control. Dehydrated yam chips were further assessed for textural and colour properties. The drying rate was found to be faster at a higher temperature of 80 °C compared to lower temperatures of 50, 60, and 70 °C. The asymptotic model was established to be the suitable descriptive model for predicting moisture profile in the pre-treated yam chips based on highest R
