Improving the Quality of Ylang-Ylang Essential Oils [
Article in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) is a clean and advanced method of extracting essential oils. In this study, it was compared to conventional hydrodistillation (HD) and steam-water distillation (SD), which are commonly used to extract essential oils from fresh ylang-ylang flowers. The yield and density of essential oils extracted via SFME within 40 min after the appearance of the first oil drop were higher than those obtained via conventional HD and SD within 3 h after the appearance of the first drop. Analysis of chemical compounds in the essential oils showed a high degree of variability in volatile compounds between the three extraction methods. Light oxygenated compounds are odor-active constituents. They comprised 81.23% of the SFME extract, whereas their levels were lower in the HD (69.94%) and SD extracts (57.98%). Total aromatic compounds were also higher in the essential oils obtained via SFME than in those obtained via HD and SD. These results support the use of SFME for ylang-ylang essential oil extraction, as it offers promising energy-/time-saving characteristics, along with higher quality.
