Green Hydrogels Prepared from Pectin Extracted from Orange Peels as a Potential Carrier for Dermal Delivery Systems.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Recycling fruit waste, like orange peels, into a green, eco-friendly, low-cost, and sustainable product is an effective way to reduce fruit waste. Pectin is a natural polymer extracted from citrus peels. It is widely utilized as a gelling agent, stabilizer, thickener, emulsifier, and rheology modifier. This study aimed to develop green gels from pectin extracted from orange peels as a carrier for topical preparations. The extracted pectin was characterized by a yield% of 14%, a degree of esterification of 20%, an equivalent weight of 2500 g/mol, a methoxyl content of 14.88%, and a galacturonic acid content of 91.52%. Additionally, the ethanolic orange peel extract was also prepared and compared with pectin hydrogels. Hydrogels were prepared using 8, 16, and 32% pectin concentrations, cross-linked with 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80% CaCl
