Unveiling the relationship between food unit operations and food industry 4.0: A short review.
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) is driving significant changes across multiple sectors, including the food industry. This review examines how Industry 4.0 technologies, such as smart sensors, artificial intelligence, robotics, and blockchain, among others, are transforming unit operations within the food sector. These operations, which include preparation, processing/transformation, preservation/stabilization, and packaging and transportation, are crucial for converting raw materials into high-quality food products. By incorporating advanced digital, physical, and biological innovations, Industry 4.0 technologies are enhancing precision, productivity, and environmental responsibility in food production. The review highlights innovative applications and key findings that showcase how these technologies can streamline processes, minimize waste, and improve food product quality. The adoption of Industry 4.0 innovations is increasingly reshaping the way food is prepared, transformed, preserved, packaged, and transported to the final consumer. The work provides a valuable roadmap for various sectors within agriculture and food industries, promoting the adoption of Industry 4.0 solutions to enhance efficiency, quality, and sustainability throughout the entire food supply chain.
