Influence of Forced Aeration and Season on Food Waste Composting: Organic Compound Degradation and Compost Quality.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Food waste composting is essential for improving its sustainable management, providing effective solutions for its recycling, and mitigating the environmental impacts of improper disposal. This study aimed to investigate the need for forced aeration in static piles during the composting of food waste, both in winter and in summer. Samples were collected on days 50, 70, and 90 of composting to analyze the degradation of organic constituents and the quality of the final compost. In the summer, aeration favored the degradation of ether extract (EE) at 50 days (78.2%) and nitrogen (N) at 70 days (86.1%) and promoted the greatest reduction of total solids (TS, 73.9%), carbon (C, 75.1%), N (70.2%), and EE (97.4%) by the end of the composting process. In winter, although aeration promoted degradation at 50 days (TS, N, and EE) and 70 days (N, EE), reductions at 90 days were more pronounced for TS (73.3%) and C (75.9%) in nonaerated windrows or similar for N (70.1%) and EE (96.0%). Composting was more efficient in nutrient release and formation of humic acid during the summer. Thus, we can conclude that food waste composting, with or without aeration, effectively recycles organic waste, promoting degradation and nutrient-rich compost production, with seasonal variations influencing the process.
