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

Osmotic dehydration (OD) is a sustainable alternative, offering reduced energy consumption compared to traditional drying approaches. This study investigates the role of OD in stabilizing bioactive compounds in lemon peel, fostering sustainable citrus by-product applications. Employing Response Surface Methodology (RSM) framework, pivotal variables-temperature (30-60 °C), exposure time (60-180 min), and sucrose concentration (50-70°Brix)-were optimized to enhance water loss (WL) and solid gain (SG) while safeguarding bioactive retention. The optimal conditions (58.92 °C, 70°Brix, 159 min) yielded a WL of 3.4 g/g, SG of 1.5 g/g, and high sensory acceptability. The OD treated lemon peel powder exhibited substantial retention of bioactive compounds, including ascorbic acid (4.1 mg/g) and total phenols (2.3 mg gallic acid/g), surpassing untreated controls. This enhanced bioactive profile underscores its potential as a sustainable and functional ingredient in nutraceutical applications.
