Comparison of microwave and pulsed electric field methods on extracting antioxidant compounds from Arvaneh plant (Hymenocrater platystegius Rech. F).
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Improving the quality of extracts derived from medicinal plants is a critical concern due to their extensive use across various industries. The Arvaneh plant (Hymenocrater platystegius Rech. F), a species native to the Khorasan province in Iran and belonging to the mint family, was the focus of this study. We optimized the extraction of Arvaneh plant using both microwave (MW) and pulsed electric field (PEF) techniques. The MW method was tested at different processing times (90, 180, and 270 s) and power levels (180, 540, and 900 W), while the PEF method was evaluated with varying electric field intensities (0.25, 3.25, and 6.25 kV/cm) and pulse numbers (10, 45, and 80) using a central composite design (CCD). The results revealed that extraction efficiency, total phenolic content, and total flavonoid content were significantly higher with the PEF method compared to the MW method (p < 0.05). Moreover, the PEF technique showed superior performance in preserving the antioxidant properties of the extract, as assessed by DPPH and FRAP methods. GC/MS analysis confirmed the presence of 27 bioactive compounds in the Arvaneh extract obtained through PEF-assisted extraction. In conclusion, the PEF method proved to be highly efficient for extracting bioactive compounds from the Arvaneh plant.
