Effect of Combined Pretreatments on Yield and Quality of Cold-Pressed Pomegranate Seed Oil.

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
In this study, the effects of combined thermal and biochemical pretreatments on the yield and quality of cold-pressed pomegranate seed oil (PSO) were systematically investigated. Convective and microwave roasting were applied individually and in combination with acid or with a commercial pectolytic-cellulolytic enzyme preparation, allowing a comparative evaluation of their synergistic effects under identical cold-pressing conditions. Microwave and convective roasting reduced the seed moisture content from 6.06% to 3-4%, whereas acid pretreatment significantly decreased the seed pH from 4.63 to 3.25-3.33. Lipase activity ranged from 0.061 to 0.191 U/g, with the highest activity in untreated seeds and the lowest in microwave-treated seeds, indicating pretreatment-induced enzyme inactivation. Among all treatments, microwave-acid pretreatment achieved the highest oil yield (11.20%) and the lowest free fatty acid content, whereas microwave-enzyme pretreatment resulted in the lowest peroxide value and the longest oxidative induction period, indicating superior oxidative stability. All pretreatments reduced peroxide value,
