Colorimetric detection of edible oil oxidation using PAN-Congo red nanofiber mats.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Lipid oxidation significantly compromises the safety, nutritional quality, and shelf life of edible oils, while conventional analytical methods are costly, time-consuming, and unsuitable for real-time monitoring. This study presents a novel nanofiber-based colorimetric sensor for rapid visual detection of lipid oxidation in soybean oil (SBO) and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) under accelerated storage conditions (70 °C for 35 days). Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber mats containing Congo red dye (CR, 0.0025%, 0.005%, and 0.01%, w/w) were fabricated via solution-blowing spinning and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Oxidative deterioration was evaluated through conjugated diene (CD) and triene (CT) values, para-anisidine value (p-AnV), total polar compounds (TPC), volatile oxidation compounds, Rancimat induction period (IP), FTIR analysis, and cytotoxicity assays. Among the developed sensors, Mat_III (0.01% CR) exhibited the highest sensitivity, showing distinct color responses with ΔE values of 12.83 ± 0.20 in SBO and 9.83 ± 0.15 in EVOO, and rapid response times of 2.94 s and 4.71 s, respectively. After 35 days, CD, CT, and TPC increased to 3.83%, 0.96%, and 12.17% in SBO and 2.49%, 0.62%, and 7.83% in EVOO, while IP values decreased markedly, particularly in SBO, from 7.89 h to 2.04 h. Overall, these sensors offer a low-cost, rapid, and user-friendly approach for real-time oil oxidation monitoring.
