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 global citrus-processing industry generates 15-32 million tonnes of waste annually. Lemon-processing residues-peels, seeds, and pomace-constitute 45-55% of fruit mass and harbour high-value bioactive compounds amenable to cascade valorisation. This review (Part I of a two-part series) examines green extraction technologies for recovering bioactive compounds from lemon waste streams. Following bibliometric analysis of 847 publications (2003-2025), this work delineates the compositional heterogeneity of lemon fractions and establishes a hierarchical framework for value-added products encompassing essential oils, pectin, polyphenols, seed oils, citric acid, industrial enzymes, α-cellulose, and nanocrystalline cellulose. Four sustainable extraction methodologies are systematically evaluated: ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, supercritical CO
