Raisin Production by Convective-Microwave Dryer and Optimization of Ochratoxin A Content, Physicochemical, Sensory Characteristics, and Fungal Load of Raisin.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Raisins are so popular in the human diet as a nutritional and sweet snack. The quality of this foodstuff depends on drying conditions. To minimize ochratoxin A (OTA) content and yeast and mold content (YMC) in raisins with favorable physicochemical and sensory properties, the response surface methodology (RSM) and the face-centered central composite design (FCCD) were utilized. The independent variables were studied over a range of microwave power (0-220 W) and temperature air (35°C-55°C). The microwave power had a significant effect on the OTA value and YMC of dried samples. The use of microwaves in drying contributed to a higher decline in OTA content and YMC than in conventionally dried samples. The regression models detected for OTA content, acidity, pH, rehydration ratio (RR), water holding capacity (WHC), shrinkage, appearance, texture, acceptability, and YMC were significant and reliable. The desirability function was applied to recognize an optimized situation. The result of the RSM analysis showed the optimum conditions for obtaining healthy raisins with desired physicochemical and sensory attributes by microwave-convective dryer at 220 W microwave power and 38.68°C air temperature.
