Optimization of extraction and structural characterization of bioactive compounds from Musa balbisiana peel.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Musa balbisiana peel, a largely underutilized by-product, is konwn as a source of bioactive compounds. This study aims to investigate the extraction of polyphenols and saponins from M. balbisiana peel by microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) combined with optimized extraction conditions by response surface methodology (RSM). In addition, the biologically active constituents in the extract were also determined. Phytochemical screening and quantification revealed that the peel extract was rich in polyphenols and saponins, with total polyphenol content (TPC) and total saponin content (TSC) of 48.82 mg GAE/gDM and 57.18 mg/gDM, respectively, under optimal conditions (81.09% solvent concentration, 4.39 s/min irradiation cycle, 44.54 min microwave time). FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the presence of characteristic functional groups of polyphenols and saponins. The purified fraction contained oleanolic acid, which was identified as the major compound after improving the extract's purity. These findings provide insights into the chemical composition to explain the biological activity of M. balbisiana peel.
