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

Approximately 50% of fruit is lost to postharvest spoilage due to the high metabolic rate of fresh produce. Reducing postharvest losses is crucial in eradicating hunger, reducing poverty and ensuring food security in line with Sustainable Development Goals 1 and 2. Understanding the optimal harvesting time for fruit is essential in maximizing its quality and extending shelf life. This study evaluated the effect of different maturity stages on the physicochemical, phytochemical and mineral profile of marula [
