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

Ozonated vegetable oils are increasingly recognized as bioactive agents with both antimicrobial and functional properties, attracting growing interest for their potential applications in food systems. This review critically synthesizes current knowledge on their chemical transformations, physicochemical properties, antimicrobial and functional properties, their toxicological and safety considerations and the implications of their regulatory classification based on 84 studies published between 2005 and 2026. Evidence shows that antimicrobial performance increases with oxidation level, but significant variability in ozonation conditions and analytical methods limits comparability and hinders standardization. Despite encouraging in vitro results and early applications in food matrices and packaging systems, major gaps remain regarding toxicology, sensory quality, regulatory classification, and real-world functionality. Overall, ozonated vegetable oils hold notable potential as antimicrobial and functional tools, yet further research is required to ensure their safe and practical implementation in food systems.
