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

The quality of different coffee varieties varies, and the corresponding bioactive value of coffee processing byproducts is often overlooked. For that, we employed HPLC, GC-MS, and electronic sensory analyses to evaluate the key bioactive components, antioxidant potential, and flavor traits of green coffee bean and coffee processing byproducts of seven coffee varieties. The results showed that green coffee beans (Oe+Ie) and exocarp (Ep) possessed strong antioxidant activity and high total phenolic content (TPC), caffeine and trigonelline content. Among the varieties, DR390 contained higher levels of total phenols, caffeine, and trigonelline, whereas DR402 was rich in caffeine and chlorogenic acid. In addition, RY3 exhibited higher TPC, total flavonoid content (TFC), caffeine, and chlorogenic acid. The parchment (Pc) layer was rich in soluble sugars (1.83-5.43%), while the silverskin (Sk) contained relatively high levels of chlorogenic acid (3.58-4.69 mg/g). Flavor analysis identified eleven classes of volatile compounds in green coffee bean (Oe+Ie) and byproducts (Ep, Pc, Sk), with esters, ketones, alcohols, and aldehydes being the most prevalent. Seven key aroma compounds, including methyl salicylate, phenethyl alcohol, nonanal, and benzaldehyde, were identified across the various structural tissues of coffee fruit. Distinct flavor profiles were observed among the coffee fruit parts: green coffee bean (Oe+Ie) was nutty; the Ep showed fruity and cocoa-like aromas; the Pc and Sk exhibited papery and nutty aromas, respectively. Varieties DR397, DR402, and RY3 exhibited pronounced aroma profiles. Comprehensive analysis showed that DR402 and RY3 had higher overall scores for bioactive and flavor components than other varieties in their groups. In summary, green coffee bean (Oe+Ie) exhibited strong antioxidant activity and high levels of bioactive compounds. Coffee byproducts, such as the Ep, hold potential for extracting natural antioxidants and bioactive compounds to develop specialty products or for other high-value utilization.
