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

Neglected and underutilized plant species (NUS) are crops rich in bioactive phytochemicals that positively impact nutrition and health. Despite their resilience and nutritional benefits, NUS remain underexploited due to limited research funding, weak market demand, and postharvest issues. Identifying NUS rich in phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and micronutrients that can be recovered can facilitate their use across sectors such as food, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, agrochemicals, and other industries. Incorporating NUS extracts into functional foods, supplements, and nutraceuticals can help address micronutrient deficiencies and promote sustainable food security. Promoting NUS valorization through advanced green technologies, such as hydrogen-based extraction, can enhance market appeal and reduce reliance on major crops. Various traditional and innovative techniques are used to extract phytochemicals from NUS. Recently, hydrogen extraction (H2Ext) has gained attention for its efficiency, sustainability, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. This review examines the potential of H2Ext to valorize NUS and recover phytochemicals, identifies research gaps and limitations, and emphasizes the strategic role of NUS and green technologies in global nutrition. It underscores the dual benefit: scientific progress via H2Ext and societal gains through increased nutritional security from underutilized biodiversity. H2Ext could reveal the hidden nutritional value of NUS by enhancing the release, stability, and chemical accessibility of phytochemicals from plant matrices.
