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

In this study, an investigation of the microbial community structure and chemical changes in different layers of a static coffee beans fermentation tank (named self-induced anaerobic fermentation-SIAF) was conducted at different times (24, 48, and 72 h). The microbial taxonomic composition comprised a high prevalence of Enterobacteriaceae and Nectriaceae and low prevalence of lactic acid bacteria and yeast, which greatly differs from the traditional process performed in open tanks. No major variation in bacterial and fungal diversity was observed between the bottom, middle, and top layers of the fermentation tank. On the other hand, the metabolism of these microorganisms varied significantly, showing a higher consumption of pulp sugar and production of metabolites in the bottom and middle layers compared to the top part of the fermentation tank. Extended processes (48 and 72 h) allowed a higher production of key-metabolites during fermentation (e.g., 3-octanol, ethyl acetate, and amyl acetate), accumulation in roasted coffee beans (acetic acid, pyrazine, methyl, 2-propanone, 1-hydroxy), and diversification of sensory profiles of coffee beverages compared to 24 h of fermentation process. In summary, this study demonstrated that SIAF harbored radically different dominant microbial groups compared to traditional coffee processing, and diversification of fermentation time could be an important tool to provide coffee beverages with novel and desirable flavor profiles.
