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

This study evaluated the effects of ultrafiltration (UF) and diafiltration (DF) on the chemical composition and selective fractionation of red beetroot juice. UF was performed using membranes with molecular weight cut-offs of 2 and 5 kDa to assess permeate flux, solute retention, and fouling behavior, with the 2 kDa membrane exhibiting higher rejection of phenolic compounds and betalains. DF was subsequently applied to the UF retentate obtained with the 2 kDa membrane to enhance the removal of low-molecular-weight sugars. The highest recovery values were observed at a diafiltration volume of 6, reaching 68.87% and 73.4% for phenolics and betalains, respectively. Under these conditions, 17.62% of the total soluble solids and 17.86% of the sugar content were retained in the retentate. Collectively, the integrated UF-DF process enabled the production of a concentrate enriched in phenolic compounds and betalains, while generating a permeate fraction enriched in sugars.
