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 aim of the study was to investigate the effect of enriching carrot slices by NFC (not from concentrate) juices from chokeberry (CH), sea buckthorn (SB), cherry (CHE) and carrot (CA) before microwave-vacuum (MVD) and freeze-drying (FD) carrot on the physicochemical and thermal properties. While water activity (AW) was not dependent on enrichment treatment but only on drying method, NFC juices significantly enriched carrot slices with biocomponents. Freeze-dried samples, as a reference, had significantly lower AW than those dried by the MVD method. Both FD and MVD-dried samples had comparable polyphenol content and DPPH antioxidant activity (AA), but the MVD-dried samples exhibited higher ABTS antioxidant activity. Carrot enrichment in chokeberry and cherry juices resulted in up to six and 10 times higher TPC than in the raw material. In addition, samples enriched in these juices and dried with FD proved to be the most stable in terms of water state and glass transition temperature (61.4 and 69.6 °C) and water activity (approx. 0.10). In FTIR analysis, all samples exhibited similar spectral shapes, indicating similar chemical composition and functional group composition. Only in the spectral region below 900 cm
