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

Olive cultivation generates large quantities of pruning residues that are often underutilized despite their potential as a renewable biomass source. Converting this abundant agricultural by-product into densified biofuel can contribute to sustainable energy systems while reducing waste management challenges. This study evaluates the mechanical and combustion properties of olive pruning residues to assess their suitability as a sustainable biomass fuel. The mechanical behavior, including dynamic and internal friction as well as compaction performance, and the combustion behavior of the compressed briquettes, encompassing combustion characteristics and thermogravimetric responses, were systematically investigated. The dynamic friction coefficient increased with moisture content (5-15%), reaching up to 0.825 on steel surfaces. Internal friction rose with moisture (from 0.54 to 0.67), while cohesion declined (from 0.80 to 0.68 N). Briquette densities ranged from 958 to 1180 kg m
