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

Monitoring chemical oxygen demand (COD) during washing of fresh produce is critical to maintaining the antimicrobial efficacy of sanitizers. However, traditional COD analysis is time-consuming (2-3 h) and costly. Since sugars released from fresh produce contribute to the overall COD, we investigated whether sugar estimation using the colorimetric sulfuric acid-UV spectrometry method (SA-UV method) can be a rapid, low-cost, and field-deployable method to predict the COD. The method relies on measurement of furfurals (absorbance at 315 nm, A
