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

This study evaluated the antioxidant efficacy of ellagitannins from a pomegranate husk in preventing vegetable canola oil (VCO) oxidation during French fry preparation. Ellagitannins were extracted using 80% acetone, purified via Amberlite XAD-16 resin chromatography, and incorporated into VCO at 0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.2% concentrations. VCO oxidation was assessed at 145 °C, 160 °C, and 190 °C, with frying experiments conducted at 160 °C for five 10 min cycles. Primary lipid oxidation (peroxide values) was measured using the AOCS Cd 8-53 method, and molecular structural changes were analyzed by infrared spectroscopy. Results showed that ellagitannins significantly mitigated VCO oxidation across all temperatures, with 0.05% identified as the optimal concentration. This concentration reduced peroxide values to 4.66 ± 1.15 meq O/kg, remaining stable and below acceptable limits during frying. Infrared spectroscopy confirmed no significant structural changes in VCO. These findings highlight ellagitannins as effective antioxidants for enhancing VCO oxidative stability during frying, offering a natural, sustainable solution for improving oil quality and extending its usability in the food industry.
