Oca (Oxalis tuberosa Mol.): An Andean Tuber With Promising Physicochemical, Technological and Nutritional Properties for Potential Industrial Applications.

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
Oxalis tuberosa Mol., commonly known as oca, is an underutilized Andean tuber with documented potential for starch modification, biofilm production, and functional food development, due to its favorable nutritional, functional, and technological profile. Hence, this review systematically analyzed the physicochemical properties, bioactive compounds, industrial applications, and challenges associated with the oca's commercial valorization. Eighty peer-reviewed scientific articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science addressing the nutritional composition, polyphenol and anthocyanin concentrations, prebiotic potential, and applications in baking, extrusion, biodegradable films, and bioplastics were examined. Our findings revealed opportunities in optimizing bioactive compound extraction, chemical starch modification, and functional food development. However, large-scale industrialization was found to be hindered by compositional variability (resistant starch content of 2-10% wet basis), limited commercial cultivation (less than 1% of total tuber production), and antinutritional factors, particularly oxalates (0.8-2.2 g 100 g
