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 aims to explore the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in food manufacturing by optimizing production, reducing waste, and enhancing sustainability. This review follows a literature review approach, synthesizing findings from peer-reviewed studies published between 2019 and 2024. A structured methodology was employed, including database searches and inclusion/exclusion criteria to assess AI applications in food manufacturing. By leveraging predictive analytics, real-time monitoring, and computer vision, AI streamlines workflows, minimizes environmental footprints, and ensures product consistency. The study examines AI-driven solutions for waste reduction through data-driven modeling and circular economy practices, aligning the industry with global sustainability goals. Additionally, it identifies key barriers to AI adoption-including infrastructure limitations, ethical concerns, and economic constraints-and proposes strategies for overcoming them. The findings highlight the necessity of cross-sector collaboration among industry stakeholders, policymakers, and technology developers to fully harness AI's potential in building a resilient and sustainable food manufacturing ecosystem.
