1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The objective of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of the obtained products, as well as the antioxidant activity and bio-stimulant potential of the liquid fractions. The biomass was subjected to pyrolysis in a pilot-scale reactor, followed by distillation of the pyroligneous liquid to separate volatile compounds and enrich bioactive fractions. The samples were analysed by FTIR, TGA/DTG, and GC-MS. Antioxidant activities were assessed through DPPH, FRAP, and total phenolic content assays, while the bio-stimulant potential was evaluated through germination and growth tests of lettuce and arugula seeds. The results showed that the distilled fraction had lower acidity, greater chemical stability, and high antioxidant activity, with the presence of industrially valuable compounds such as methoxylated phenols and furfural. Furthermore, application of the distilled liquid at 0.1% concentration stimulated early seedling development-especially in arugula-while higher concentrations demonstrated inhibitory effects. These findings show that distillation of pyroligneous liquid is an effective strategy to enhance its bioactive properties, enabling its use as a natural antioxidant and plant bio-stimulant.
