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
backgroundGeographical indications (GIs) certify the link between coffee origin and quality, enabling premium pricing and protecting producers. However, the high market value of GI coffees increases their vulnerability to fraud, underscoring the need for reliable and practical authentication methods. Portable near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy represents a rapid and non-destructive alternative, but its capability to discriminate Brazilian GI coffees requires systematic assessment.
resultsThis study compared NIR transmittance spectra of aqueous coffee extracts with NIR reflectance spectra of the corresponding ground samples for the authentication of four Brazilian GIs from southeastern Brazil: Cerrado Mineiro, Mogiana Paulista, Mantiqueira de Minas, and Matas de Minas. Distinct spectral signatures were observed in the 900-1650 nm range. Data-driven soft independent modeling of class analogy (DD-SIMCA) was employed, resulting in excellent classification performance. Although both acquisition modes showed satisfactory performance during calibration and validation, reflectance consistently outperformed transmittance in the prediction of a test set, achieving accuracies ranging from 97% to 100%. The superior performance of reflectance-based models was attributed to the preservation of chemically informative features in the solid coffee matrix, including lipids and other compounds poorly extracted into water, whereas aqueous extracts were dominated by water absorption and exhibited greater intraclass variability.
conclusionPortable NIR spectroscopy, particularly in reflectance mode combined with DD-SIMCA, provides a fast, non-destructive, and highly reliable approach for authenticating Brazilian GI coffees. These findings highlight its potential as a practical tool to protect producers and consumers against fraud and to ensure the integrity of products bearing protected geographical indications. © 2026 The Author(s).
