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

introductionOlive oil and their by-products have long been regarded as valuable sources of health-promoting metabolites. Although the composition of olive oil has been widely studied, less attention has been given to olive mill wastewater (OMWW) and pomace across different cultivars (cvs.). The present study provides a comprehensive metabolic profiling of olive oil, OMWW, and pomace derived from 10 Egyptian cvs. using an integrated metabolomics strategy.

methodsA combination of

resultsDistinct phytochemical profiles were revealed across the different olive products. OMWW from "Chemlali black" was found to be particularly rich in phenolics and secoiridoids, while its pomace was characterized by higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids and triterpenoids (e.g., maslinic acid). NMR analyses further distinguished OMWW from pomace based on sugar and organic acid content. Moreover, metabolite-activity relationships were uncovered, with antioxidant capacity being strongly linked to metabolites such as elenolic acid derivatives, tetrahydroxy-methoxy flavanone, hydroxy-octadecadienoic acid, and citric acid. OMWW samples, especially from "Chemlali black", exhibited the most potent antioxidant activity.

conclusionValuable bioactive metabolites were identified in olive oil by-products, supporting their potential use in sustainable, health-promoting applications. "Chemlali black" and "Chemlali green" cvs. are recognized as promising sources for nutraceutical and functional product development. The use of integrated NMR and UHPLC-MS/MS platforms proved effective in differentiating olive matrices and highlighting antioxidant-related metabolic markers.
