Comparative Study of Hops Moisture Content and the Relative Humidity of the Drying Environment in a Hop Belt Dryer.
Article in Sensors (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
The paper concerns a study of drying and the creation of a statistical model for measuring the relative humidity of the drying environment in a belt dryer, as well as the moisture content of hop heads, stems, and bracts. The SAAZ variety was used, which is widely cultivated in the Czech Republic, and the data from harvesting seasons since 2017 were recorded. The findings demonstrated the influence and dependence of the moisture content of hop cones and their parts on the relative humidity of the drying environment in a belt dryer of hops. This dependence was confirmed by a statistical analysis of the measured values. Furthermore, a quadratic model was developed based on measurements taken over three harvest seasons. The model is applicable to predict the moisture content of the hops at a given location based on the relative humidity of the drying environment in the belt dryer and could be useful for developing an automatic hop-drying system.
