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

Rapeseed meal is a major by-product of rapeseed oil production and contains proteins, structural carbohydrates, and bioactive compounds with potential uses in feed, food ingredients, functional materials, and thermochemical products. However, broader valorization is constrained by variability in meal composition, interactions among components, fractionation efficiency, and scale-up requirements. This review examines how oil production routes affect meal composition and component accessibility, and summarizes physical fractionation, protein and polysaccharide recovery, and the separation, removal, or conversion of phenolic compounds, glucosinolates, and phytic acid. Applications of the resulting fractions in feed, fertilizer, foods, functional materials, bioactive products, and thermochemical conversion are evaluated. Existing evidence shows that pressing, solvent extraction, and thermal treatment alter residual oil content, protein solubility, protein-fiber associations, and the distribution of antinutritional compounds, thereby influencing subsequent separation. Fractionation conditions determine recovery, purity, structural state, and functionality and should be selected according to the intended product. Despite substantial progress, industrial implementation remains limited by feedstock variability, insufficient application-level validation, high water and chemical demand, and incomplete utilization of residual streams. Future work should define product-specific quality criteria, establish complete component mass balances, and develop continuous cascade fractionation processes with lower resource demand to support integrated and scalable rapeseed meal valorization.
