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

Plant extracts and absolutes have high application value in several industries such as medicine, food, and fragrance. Especially in the field of fragrance, while there is expensive, they are prized by perfumers and provide a rich and lasting aroma. Owing to advancements in extraction technology, their yields have increased and their ingredients have become richer. However, no extraction technology is universal and each extraction technology has its own distinct advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, this review systematically characterizes the extraction technologies for plant extracts and absolutes, including traditional extraction technologies, such as maceration, percolation, reflux, and Soxhlet extraction, and green extraction technologies, such as microwave-assisted, ultrasonic-assisted, pressurized liquid, and supercritical fluid extractions. These extraction technologies are analyzed and compared in terms of their principles, advantages and disadvantages, improvement solutions, and applications. In addition, this review summarizes and compares new green extraction solvents and discusses the practical applications of these advanced extraction methods and solvents from different perspectives.
