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

Almond skins represent an underexploited by-product of the almond processing chain, despite being a rich source of bioactive compounds with potential applications as a functional food ingredient. However, the Traditional Blanching Peeling (TBP) process, which involves the use of hot water, causes the leaching and degradation of bioactive compounds, reducing the functional value of the recovered skins. In this study, liquid nitrogen peeling (LNP) was investigated as an alternative approach to enhance the recovery of bioactive-rich almond skins. To assess the variability of bioactive compounds in different cultivars, a total of 106 almond genotypes from a germplasm collection were screened for skin yield, total polyphenol content, and antioxidant activity. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to select a representative subset of cultivars capturing the variability of the germplasm in terms of bioactive composition and technological traits. The skins obtained using LNP exhibited higher polyphenol content and antioxidant activity compared to those obtained using conventional peeling. Despite variability among samples, in some cultivars such as 'Universo', TPC increased from 570.58 mg GAE/100 g after TBP to 1588.05 mg GAE/100 g after LNP, corresponding to an increase of approximately 178% (
