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 edible coating used for preserving fruits during storage is receiving heightened interest due to its biodegradable properties and its effectiveness in extending shelf life. In the present study, we investigated the effect of Xanthan gum based edible coating, applied individually or enriched with clove or cinnamon essential oil, on the postharvest quality of pomegranate (cv. 'Sefri Ouled Abdellah') during cold storage at 4 °C for a period of 75 days. The results demonstrated that both xanthan gum coatings enriched with clove essential oil (XANCL) and cinnamon essential oil (XANCN) effectively preserved fruit quality compared to the uncoated control. Among these, XANCN was the most effective, delaying weight loss (0 to 9.67%), stabilizing pH (4.14 to 4.18) and TA content (0.18 to 0.14), and preventing the degradation of TPC (580.6 to 503.94 mg GAE 100 mL
