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

White radish is a nutritious root vegetable that provides dietary fiber, essential vitamins and minerals, and a range of bioactive compounds. This study aimed to determine how steam and microwave blanching, pulsed electric field, ultrasound, osmotic dehydration with inulin or trehalose, and coating with spices such as turmeric or sweet paprika influence the characteristics of convective infrared dried white radish slices. To assess the effect of each pretreatment, moisture content, water activity, shrinkage, density, texture, color parameters, structural characteristics (SEM and µ-CT), vapor adsorption, thermal changes, and antioxidant properties were analyzed. Osmotic dehydration with inulin most effectively limited shrinkage and color change, stabilized the microstructure, and resulted in the highest relative phenolic content and antioxidant activity (TPC, DPPH). Spice-coated samples showed low shrinkage, low hardness and breaking work, and vivid color. Furthermore, µ-CT microstructure analysis showed that these samples had the highest porosity, with those with paprika reaching 57.5%. In contrast, blanching, ultrasound, and PEF led to greater structural changes and increased hygroscopicity. Multivariate analyses confirmed the significant influence of the type of pre-treatment on the quality characteristics of the dried material. Osmotic dehydration and spice coating proved to be the most effective methods for obtaining structurally stable and visually attractive dried white radish slices with attractive bioactive compounds.
