An Assessment of the Freshness of Fruits and Vegetables Through the Utilization of Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS)-A Preliminary Study.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
This study evaluates the use of bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) as a non-invasive method to assess the freshness of fruits and vegetables by measuring impedance, its components, and phase angle. Over nine days, three vegetables (potato, pumpkin, and red pepper) and two fruits (apple and banana) were assessed using the Analog Discovery 3 device, covering a frequency range of 50 Hz to 1 MHz. The results showed a consistent decrease in impedance and an increase in phase angle during ripening, with statistical significance observed for pumpkin and potato (
