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

Introduction: Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted following PRISMA guidelines across database using different keyword strings. Of 387 initial records identified, 75 studies met inclusion criteria and were included in the qualitative synthesis. Results: The pulp is characterised by high acidity (pH 2.5-4.0), soluble solids (12-22 °Brix), and pulp yield (30-60%). Nutritionally, it is rich in carbohydrates, dietary fibre, and minerals including potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and zinc. Phytochemical profiling revealed bioactive compounds such as chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rutin, and carotenoids, underpinning antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities. Value-added products including juices, jams, fermented beverages, and dried rolls have demonstrated feasibility. However, a critical knowledge gap persists: while compositional analyses confirm high phytonutrient content, their bio-accessibility remains poorly characterised. Discussion: Factors including carotenoid lipophilicity, phenolic compound stability during digestion, and processing impacts on nutrient release have not been systematically quantified. Without integrating standardised bio-accessibility studies, the physiological relevance of Conclusion: This review recommends prioritising bio-accessibility investigations alongside fermentation optimisation to transform
