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

backgroundThe growing global population and increasing consumer focus on healthy eating challenge the agricultural sector to ensure both sustainable food production and safety. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa Mill.), the most cultivated leafy vegetable worldwide, can lose up to 40% of its weight during processing. This study investigates the biochemical composition of waste from six lettuce varieties, Curly-leafed, Iceberg, Little Gems, Romaine, Frisée and Lollo Rossa, collected from losses during cultivation, transport, storage and processing.

resultsLollo Rossa showed the highest levels of beneficial compounds, including organic acids (189 g kg

conclusionThese findings highlight the potential of lettuce waste as a source of valuable bioactive compounds, supporting sustainable practices and value-added applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. © 2026 The Author(s).
