Pineapple by-products: A critical review of their bioactive compounds as eco-friendly pesticides in pest management.
Review in Food chemistry: X, 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
Pineapple processing generates significant waste in the form of peels, leaves, crowns, stems, and cores. Although their bioactive compounds have been explored, a literature review on their pesticidal properties is lacking. This paper reviews the research on the bioactive compounds in the byproducts (peels, leaves, stem, crown and core) in the last 5 years to give the recent knowledge on the bioactive compounds of the pineapple byproducts as ecofriendly pesticides in food storage management, examining their efficacy against common pests, mechanisms of action, and potential applications while considering human health safety and environmental impact. Among the bioactives identified in the pineapple waste are phenolic, terpenes, and organic acids. Studies have highlighted the pesticidal properties of extracts from waste against various food storage pests. They disrupt pest physiology, inhibit growth, and have antimicrobial activity. Despite these studies over the last five years, there are various opportunities to research the bioactive compounds present in pineapple waste, which could drive its commercialization and utilization.
