Numerical Study for Efficient Cooling of Perishable Food Products During Storage: The Case of Tomatoes.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Unveiling temperature patterns within agricultural products remains the most important indicator for their quality assessment during post-harvest treatments. Temperature control and monitoring within vented packages is essential for preserving the quality of perishable goods, such as tomato fruits, by preventing localized temperature maxima that can accelerate spoilage. This study proposes a modeling and simulation approach to systematically investigate how ventilation design choices influence internal airflow distribution and the resulting cooling performance. Our analysis compares three distinct venting configurations (single top vent, single middle vent, and two vents) across two package boundary conditions: an open-top system allowing for dual air exits through the open top boundary and the outlet vent(s), respectively, and a closed-top system with a single exit pathway through the outlet vent(s). All scenarios are simulated to assess airflow patterns, velocity magnitudes, and temperature uniformity within different package designs.
