Natural preservation strategies: The potential of bioactive compounds from fruit and vegetable waste to reduce postharvest losses.
Review in Food chemistry: X, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The fruit and vegetable (F&V) waste generated postharvest has the potential of being used for the recovery of bioactive compounds that can be reintroduced into the supply chain to extend the postharvest quality of fresh produce. This review provides in-depth insights into the potential use of natural extracts derived from F&V waste to maintain the commercial and nutritional quality of fresh F&V. The mechanisms of action are comprehensively discussed. Application methods such as edible coatings, dipping solutions, and active packaging films are the main techniques used for the application of natural extracts. Future research integrating advanced -omics technologies is encouraged to unravel the molecular interactions of these bioactive compounds, facilitating the development of environmentally friendly, scalable postharvest treatments. Addressing regulatory challenges and ensuring industry adoption will be crucial in transitioning toward natural alternatives for food preservation, ultimately reducing postharvest losses and promoting sustainability in the fresh produce supply chain.
