Convective Drying of Papaya Seeds: Impact of Ethanol Pretreatment.
Article in Journal of food science, 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
Papaya seeds are agroindustrial residues rich in bioactive compounds, lipids, and proteins. Their high moisture content makes them vulnerable to chemical and microbiological deterioration. Drying is a practical process to extend shelf life. The immersion in ethanol can be used as a drying pretreatment for improving the final quality and reducing drying time. This study examined the effect of ethanol on drying kinetics, specific energy consumption, cell-wall thickness, quality parameters (water activity, color, phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity), oil yield, and mass-transfer mechanisms via mathematical modeling. Seeds were immersed in ethanol for 2 min and convectively dried at 50°C or 70°C (air velocity 1 m s
