Effect of moisture content variation on dielectric properties of seeds of multipurpose species in 20 MHz-3 GHz frequency range.
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
The study presents measurements and analysis of complex dielectric permittivity spectra of seeds of multipurpose crop species such as mustard, buckwheat, phacelia, and crimson clover. These species due to their ecosystem service properties such as the improvement of soil health, carbon sequestration and pollinator support, can be part of sustainable food production.Seeds with different moisture content were measured in a coaxial cell system covering 20 MHz to 3 GHz frequency range. The results indicate that dielectric parameters such as the square root of dielectric permittivity, loss tangent, penetration depth, and effective electrical conductivity are influenced by factors including volumetric water content and measurement frequency. Additionally, significant variations in dielectric properties are observed among different seed types and species. Dielectric permittivity, in particular, shows potential as a reliable indicator of seed water content, making it a valuable tool for assessing seed quality and monitoring changes during storage under various conditions. These findings highlight the importance of dielectric measurements in seed quality assessment and storage management as well provide valuable information for modelling and designing efficient dielectric heating and microwave-assisted conditions.
