Watermelon Rind: Nutritional Composition, Therapeutic Potential, Environmental Impact, and Commercial Applications in Sustainable Industries.
Review in Current pharmaceutical design, 2026. 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
Citrullus lanatus (watermelon) is a fruit with remarkable therapeutic potential, as each part of itrind, peel, flesh, and seeds contain bioactive compounds. Despite its wide range of benefits, the utilization of watermelon, particularly its rind, remains limited due to a lack of awareness and an underrated perspective. The rind, situated between the green outer peel and the red flesh, is light green in color and rich in bioactive compounds, minerals, and phytochemicals. These constituents are associated with various therapeutic properties, including antioxidant, antineoplastic, cardiovascular, and neuroprotective effects. In addition to its therapeutic applications, watermelon rind offers significant commercial value in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in industrial applications such as biofuel production and eco-friendly packaging. Its versatility makes watermelon rind an exciting area of research for uncovering new applications and enhancing existing ones. However, limitations in its usage and handling need to be addressed for its broader adoption. This review comprehensively discusses the global research conducted to date on the nutritional composition, therapeutic potential, environmental impact, and commercial applications of watermelon rind. Additionally, it highlights challenges and future directions for advancing the utilization of this promising resource.
