Tamarillo (
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: During processing, a large amount of by-products is produced from tamarillo fruits in the form of stalks, outer skins, and pomace (residual seeds and inner skins). This material is a renewable source of bioactive compounds with high economic value and positive effects on human health. Previous reviews have focused on the ethnobotanical, traditional uses, and phytochemistry of the tamarillo fruit. This report aims to compile production and cultivation data, as well as the valorization of this agro-industrial residue, green extraction methods used for extracting the bioactive compounds, and their biological activity. Method: In this study, a literature search was conducted in five scientific databases: Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar to retrieve research published in English, Spanish, or Portuguese between 2009 and 2024, which mentions the composition and extraction methods of bioactive compounds from tamarillo wastes and by-products and the health benefits associated with these compounds. The data extracted was compiled and shown in this scoping review. Results: Tamarillo wastes and by products have a rich nutritional and bioactive composition, including high protein, vitamins A and C, minerals, dietary fiber, sugars, terpenes, flavonoids, carotenoids, anthocyanins, and other phytochemicals. Green methods have been effective, yielding high amounts of these compounds while preserving their integrity. Natural polyphenols have shown antioxidant, anticholinesterase, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-diabetic, and anti-obesity properties. The antioxidant fibers, mucilage, and pectin of the pomace contribute to improved intestinal health. Conclusion: Therefore, these wastes and by-products have potential uses as natural colorant, antioxidants, supplements, functional foods, active biobased films, and in pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical sectors due to their effective bioactive molecules. Future research should focus on the use of tamarillo by-products as a source of functional ingredients in several other formulations that are still little explored, as well as their use as a natural colorant and antioxidant. More studies are necessary on the composition-activity relationship, physiological mechanisms, and clinical response.
