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

Beetroot peel, an underutilised by-product of the food industry, has significant potential for valorisation due to its high content of bioactive compounds and natural pigments. This study aimed to sustainably reintroduce beetroot peel into the food chain by enriching the nutritional value of dehydrated apple snacks. Five experimental formulations of apple slices were developed: dipped in 5% RBPP in water, dipped in 10% RBPP in water, dipped in 5% RBPP in 50% lemon juice, dipped in 10% RBPP in 50% lemon juice all seasoned with cinnamon powder, and a control formulation. The biochemical analysis showed that the total phenolic content (2780.01 ± 68.38 mg GAE/100 g DM) and antioxidant activity of apple snacks significantly increased (503.96 ± 1.83 µmol TE/g DM). Sensory evaluation indicated that snacks with beetroot peel powder and lemon juice achieved the highest scores in colour, flavour, and acceptability. These results demonstrate that the valorisation of beetroot peel has the potential to reduce agro-industrial waste and also enhance the nutritional and functional quality of apple snacks. It is recommended that beetroot peel be further explored as a cost-effective natural ingredient to develop healthier, value-added snack products within a circular economy framework.
