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

backgroundOlive cultivation and olive oil production are key agricultural sectors in the Dalmatia region, where numerous oil mills operate. Analyses have shown that extra virgin olive oils (EVOO) produced in this area contain respectable amounts of polyphenols, which contribute to superior oil quality due to their antioxidant properties. During processing, hydrophilic phenolic compounds predominantly transfer into olive mill wastewater (OMW), making it a concentrated source of valuable bioactive molecules. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and photoprotective effects of these polyphenols are highly relevant for cosmetic and pharmaceutical use.

methodsA total of 186 OMW samples were collected from oil mills in the Split-Dalmatia County across three production seasons (2023-2025). Total polyphenol content (TPC) was measured spectrophotometrically, while polyphenol composition was determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Antioxidant activity was evaluated using hydrogen atom transfer (HAT; 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) (DPPH), electron transfer (ET; ferric reducing antioxidant power) (FRAP), and oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay (ORAC).

resultsThe obtained results indicated high total polyphenols concentrations, with values ranging from 111.8 to 6717.2 mg of gallic acid equivalents per L of OMW (mg GAe L
