The impact of microwave technology on fruit drying processes in food industry: a bibliometric and comprehensive review (2018-2024).
Review in Food science and biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study offers a comprehensive bibliometric analysis and review of microwave drying technology's impact on fruit quality preservation in the food industry from 2018 to se2024. Key contributions from leading researchers and institutions globally are highlighted, revealing the prominence of countries like Turkey, China, and India in advancing this field. The review demonstrates that microwave drying outperforms traditional methods such as hot air, sun, and freeze-drying in terms of efficiency, energy consumption, and preservation of nutritional and sensory qualities. Specific findings indicate that microwave drying retains essential vitamins, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds more effectively, with the aid of advanced models and pretreatments optimizing drying processes for high-quality outputs. The study underscores the potential for microwave drying to revolutionize fruit preservation, while also identifying areas for future research to address existing limitations and enhance technology adoption in the industry.
