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

For climacteric fruits like kiwifruit, postharvest deterioration presents a serious problem with storage and marketability. In this study, the effectiveness of an edible coating made of peppermint essential oil (Es) and Aloe vera gel (ALVG) in maintaining the quality and prolonging the shelf life of "Hayward" kiwifruit kept in cold storage for three months was examined. Treatments were applied in various concentrations (25% and 50% ALVG with 0, 500, and 1000 ppm Es), and quality parameters were evaluated at monthly intervals. The coating significantly reduced weight loss (by 41%) and fruit spoilage (by 65%), and microbial content particularly at ALVG
