Fruit Seeds with Functional Applications: From Food Waste to Potential Uses.
Review in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Significant amounts of food waste come from fruit processing, causing economic and environmental impacts. The waste generated is a valuable source of compounds due to its concentration of nutrients, such as dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, lipids with mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and bioactive compounds. Despite the nutritional and functional qualities of the waste, it is still commonly discarded and underutilized, demonstrating the importance of studying it. The selected fruits described in this study are widely consumed by various populations around the world and are used at an industrial scale. The objective of this review is to discuss the use of seeds from grapes, passion fruit, melon, watermelon, papaya, guava, raspberry, and pomegranate and their benefits for human consumption. The seeds stand out for the possibility of oil extraction, creating a sustainable and healthy mode of production. Due to their nutritional composition rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, they have been shown to be beneficial to health, promoting development, strengthening the immune system, and promoting the growth and maintenance of cell membranes, cardiovascular benefits, and antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, in addition to innovation in the cosmetics sector and applicability as biofuel. Therefore, the exploitation of this type of by-product shows promise in the search for alternative sources of vegetable oils and bioactive compounds with high added nutritional value and potential nutraceutical application, helping to increase the value of food waste and thus contributing to a better use of plant resources.
