Enhancing Microwave Disinfection: Impact of Sodium Chloride on Microbial Inactivation.
Article in IEEE access : practical innovations, open solutions, 2024. 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
This study explores the role of sodium chloride (NaCl) in enhancing the efficiency of microbial inactivation using microwave energy with two distinct methods: temperature-controlled treatment and predefined cycle. The primary objective is to maintain a stable temperature within the biological samples during treatment. Detailed descriptions of the treatment system's design and the function of each element are provided. Simulations are conducted to illustrate the heating behavior of liquids with and without NaCl, revealing significant differences in temperature profiles between the two media. The experimental design and the objective behind each iteration are discussed. The experimental design includes three different power levels to assess their impact on disinfection rates, with durations determined based on extensive preliminary experiments to identify the most effective combinations for microorganism elimination. The experiments aim to compare the efficiency of the temperature-controlled method and the predefined cycle in maintaining desired temperature ranges and enhancing microbial inactivation. A key aspect of the study is the significance of exposure time in temperature-controlled runs. It is observed that exposure time critically influences the inactivation performance, necessitating the design of predefined cycles to achieve more consistent and efficient microbial inactivation. Additionally, in this investigation, the system effectively disinfects three types of microorganisms: bacteria, viruses, and yeasts. The study also examines treatments across three different media to understand the influence of NaCl presence on microbial inactivation efficiency. These insights emphasize the critical importance of optimizing exposure time and incorporating NaCl in microwave-based disinfection processes to achieve more effective microbial inactivation.
