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
According to the concept of smart postharvest management, an information and communication technology sensor-based monitoring system is required in the juicing process to reduce losses and improve process efficiency. Such technologies are considered economically burdensome and technically challenging for small-scale enterprises to adopt. From this perspective, this study aimed to develop a smart monitoring system for the juicing processes in small-scale enterprises and to identify the optimal operating conditions based on the monitoring data. The system developed is equipped with two weight sensors attached to the twin-screw juice extractor, allowing for the automatic measurement of the weight of the raw material and the resulting juice product. The measured data are automatically transmitted and stored on a computer. Additionally, the system was designed to remotely control the speeds of the juicing and feeding screws, which are the primary controlling factors of the twin-screw juicer. Juice yield and processing time were optimized using carrots and pears. The optimal juicing and feeding speeds for pear yield were found to be 167.4 rpm and 1557 rpm, respectively; carrots achieved an optimal yield at a juicing speed of 502.2 rpm and feeding speed of 1211 rpm. In contrast, the processing time was minimized at juicing-feeding speeds of 6-6 and 7-5 for pears and carrots, respectively. Consequently, it was challenging to determine the optimal conditions for simultaneously optimizing the yield and processing time. This also suggests that the juicing process is affected by the properties of the fruits and vegetables being processed. By developing a system capable of accumulating the data necessary for the digitization of postharvest management and food processing, this research offers a valuable platform for the smart monitoring and optimization of the juicing process.
