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

Paddy and brown rice samples were investigated for its physical characteristics which would aid in designing of the equipment and apparatus for processing of grains as sorting, grading and transportation with ease. Significant difference was observed among the different physical properties as geometrical (length, breadth, thickness, equivalent diameter, sphericity, volume, surface area, aspect ratio) gravimetrical (bulk density, true density, porosity etc.) and frictional characteristic such as angle of repose, hygroscopic properties as moisture and water activity and color of paddy and brown rice kernels. Among geometrical properties length was found the maximum in paddy of Mapillai samba (8.21 mm) and Palkudavazhai brown rice (6.34 mm). Among flow properties, Mapillai samba displayed the maximum value for true density of paddy and brown rice varieties respectively. Hardness was reported in the range of (344.1 ± 14.4-594.88 ± 9.5 and 209.31 ± 4.00-395.99 ± 7.05 N) for different varieties of paddy and brown rice cultivars. The color of the brown rice was read as L*, a*, b* where it varied from 36.22 ± 0.71-61.71 ± 0.81, 4.00 ± 0.18-15.29 ± 0.48 and 16.59 ± 0.52-23.81 ± 0.15 respectively. Brown rice varieties can generally be categorized as short bold, long bold and medium slender as per their length and breadth ratio. The significant differences in physical properties of the various cultivars studied, emphasis on varying processing techniques. The physical properties of selected brown rice varieties studied are widely cultivated in southern India, owing to its high nutraceutical potentials.
