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
Ricotta cheese is an Italian dairy product obtained by heat-coagulation of the proteins in whey, resulting from cheese production. The homogenization method applied to collect ricotta cheese samples could affect the total solids (TS) contents of the products. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of 5 different homogenization methods of the samples collection applied for the accuracy in TS determination in ricotta cheese, including un-homogenized method (UNH), un-homogenized combined with the Ultra-Turrax (IKA-Werke GmbH & Co. KG) method (UNH-UTX), spoon-homogenized method (SPN), spoon-homogenized combined with Ultra-Turrax method (SPN-UTX), and Ultra-Turrax homogenized method (UTX). The repeatability and the standard deviation of repeatability are indicators of agreement between repeated measures for TS contents. Results reported that UNH ricotta cheese samples showed large variation in TS content with values ranging from 18.31% to 25.85% and a standard deviation of repeatability higher than 1%; SPN samples showed repeatability values higher than 0.35% and standard deviation of repeatability ranged until 1.36%, suggesting large variability even in this case; the Ultra-Turrax homogenization reported repeatability values lower than 0.1% and standard deviation of repeatability lower than 0.05%, indicating that this method provides repeatable measurements that may reduce the sources of uncertainty in TS determination.
