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.

Abstract
Research background: Hydrodistillation is a convenient and economical method to extract essential oils, but this technique has been abandoned due to limited extraction rates. Comparison to conventional hydrodistillation, maceration-mediated hydrodistillation could increase mass transfer and provide better control over the extraction thermodynamics, thereby preserving the aroma constituents and their antioxidant activities. The present study describes a useful and innovative modification of conventional hydrodistillation by introducing a macerating agent Triton X-100 and NaCl as an electrolyte to accelerate mass transfer for better extraction of caryophyllene-rich essential oil from sea buckthorn berries. Experimental approach: The parameters of maceration-mediated hydrodistillation, including the mass fraction of macerating agent, electrolyte concentration and extraction time, were investigated within a wide range of 1-10 %, 1-10 g/100 mL and 3-8 h, respectively, to increase the oil yield (g/100 g). The parameters were optimized according to the desirability approach using response surface methodology. The antioxidant activity of the essential oil obtained under optimal conditions was measured using Results and conclusions: The optimized parameters for the modified hydrodistillation were observed at 4.22 mL Triton X-100 and 4.03 g NaCl for 5.61 h of extraction time with the essential oil yield of (3.2±0.1) % compared to 2.1 % obtained with conventional hydrodistillation. The essential oil produced by the assisted hydrodistillation was rich in (-)-β-caryophyllene (37.2 %) with good antioxidant activities in terms of free radical scavenging capacity (84.2 %), inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation (68.2 %) and antioxidant capacity expressed in Trolox equivalents (168 µmol/mL). Novelty and scientific contribution: Triton X-100 can disrupt the cell membrane to release the bioactive compounds, while the NaCl reduces the solubility of the non-polar components of the essential oil in the aqueous phase, which can ultimately improve the extraction yield. The proposed approach can be used with minor modifications with the existing hydrodistillation setups and it seems to be more economical for the extraction of sea buckthorn essential oil without compromising its antioxidant potential or its valuable aroma compounds on an industrial scale.
