Non-Thermal Plasma-Enabled Valorization of Sotol Bagasse for Microbial Carotenoid Production.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 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
The replacement of synthetic dyes has gained increasing attention due to stricter regulatory policies and growing health concerns. Microbial carotenoids represent a promising alternative to artificial food colorants; however, their large-scale production is limited by the high cost of raw materials. In this context, the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass offers a strategy to develop low-cost substrates for microbial bioprocesses. Sotol bagasse (SB), an underutilized lignocellulosic residue generated during sotol production, was composed of 24% cellulose, 14% hemicellulose, and 42% lignin. A non-thermal plasma pretreatment, optimized through response surface methodology, achieved up to 29% of lignin removal. Subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis yielded a total sugar concentration of 28 g/L. The resulting hydrolysate supported the growth of
