Effect of wall design on heat loss and drying kinetics in a solar greenhouse for yellow pepper.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 investigates the thermal performance of solar greenhouses in the Northern Hemisphere, with the research purpose of providing process parameters to optimize passive solar greenhouse design for improved performance, reduced energy consumption, and enhanced environmental benefits. The novelty of the research lies in its investigation of the impact of wall configuration and orientation on thermal performance and drying kinetics of solar greenhouse dryers for drying Nsukka yellow pepper, providing new insights for optimizing drying conditions and designing efficient solar dryers. A modified solar greenhouse dryer with three different wall configurations (totally transparent, insulated northern wall, and insulated eastern wall) was tested under the same ambient conditions. The results show that the north insulated wall configuration improved thermal performance by 2.4-31.6% and reduced heat loss factor by 10.3%. The three solar greenhouse dryers produced a lifetime CO
