Beyond Phytosterol Profiling in Greek Olive Oil: Biological Variability, Regulatory Interpretation and the Near-Threshold Sterolic Space.
Review in Molecules (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
Phytosterols are key minor constituents of olive oil, contributing not only to its nutritional and bioactive properties but also to authenticity assessment, quality control, and regulatory classification. In Greek olive oils, particularly extra virgin olive oils from the dominant Koroneiki cultivar, sterolic composition is a critical yet complex marker, as total-sterol content and specific sterol fractions may naturally approach regulatory thresholds without indicating adulteration or quality loss. This review critically synthesizes current knowledge on phytosterol profiling in Greek olive oil, emphasizing sterolic composition, analytical methodology, stability, and the principal biological, geographical, technological, and methodological factors governing sterolic variability. Particular attention is given to the sterolic fingerprint of the Greek cultivars for which comparable data exist-principally Koroneiki, with Mastoides and Lianolia Kerkyras as comparators-dominated by β-sitosterol, Δ
