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

The optimization of phenolic compound extraction from pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) husk was explored by manipulating three key process variables: aqueous ethanol concentration (20-60% v/v), extraction temperature (30-60 °C), and extraction time (2-6 h). Utilizing a Box-Behnken design under Response Surface Methodology (RSM), we meticulously optimized these variables to maximize extract yield, total phenolic content, and DPPH radical scavenging activity. The ideal extraction conditions determined via desirability function analysis were found to be 41.83% (v/v) ethanol concentration, 59.36 °C extraction temperature, and 6 h extraction time. These parameters yielded an impressive 9.67 ± 0.02% extract yield, 47.99 ± 0.60 mg GAE/g total phenolic content, and 51.24 ± 0.43% DPPH radical scavenging activity, closely aligning with predicted values. LC-MS (ESI-Q-TOF) metabolite profiling of the optimized extract revealed a rich presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, lignans, phenols, xanthones, and glycosides. This study underscores the valorisation potential of pigeon pea husk-a typically discarded by-product-for sustainable extraction of valuable phenolic compounds under optimal conditions.
