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

In-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME) is an advanced microextraction technique in which a sample solution flows through a capillary containing an internal stationary phase, enabling efficient extraction and preconcentration of target analytes. The online coupling to liquid chromatography is a key advantage of this technique, enabling full automation and high analytical throughput, both of which are significant for food analysis. Recent advances have focused on developing novel sorbent materials that respond to external stimuli (e.g., magnetic, electrical, or thermal) and on integrating them into emerging chromatographic platforms. Moreover, key operational parameters, including sample volume, pH, phase thickness, and the capillary's dimensions (length and inner diameter), must be optimized to achieve enhanced selectivity, speed, and sensitivity. Despite this, the literature still lacks updated reviews of SPME concepts and their innovations for versatile applications in food matrices. Hence, this review outlines the fundamental principles of IT-SPME while highlighting key parameters that affect analytical performance. Finally, we provide a literature review of SPME applications in food analysis over the past 6 years, while exploring current trends and future directions for SPME development and enhanced applications in food science.
