Rapid Determination of Cellulose and Starch in Tobacco by Colorimetric Method.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Starch and cellulose are pivotal determinants of tobacco quality. In this work, starch and cellulose in flue-cured tobacco leaf were extracted through a sequential extraction process. First, an aqueous solution of tobacco leaves was prepared, and starch was extracted by boiling the leaves in water. The precipitate was separated, and the cellulose within it was hydrolyzed using a sulfuric acid solution. Then, starch content was quantified by a colorimetric reaction with iodine solution, while cellulose content was determined by using anthrone as a chromogenic agent. The reaction conditions were optimized to ensure accuracy, and the recovery rate and relative standard deviation (RSD) were calculated under these optimum conditions. The recovery rates for starch and cellulose in the tobacco samples ranged from 90 to 105%, with the RSD of interday and intraday determination being less than 5%. These results demonstrate that the proposed method is both sensitive and reproducible, making it suitable for the rapid and precise quantification of starch and cellulose in tobacco samples.
