Flow of spore-forming bacteria between suppliers of dairy powders and users in some developing countries: challenges and perspectives.
Review in Journal of food science and technology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Abstract: Spore-forming bacteria are common contaminants of milk powder and processing lines and a major concern for the dairy industry. This dairy-associated microflora was studied extensively and well characterized in developed countries (exporters of milk powder), compared to developing countries (importers). Thereby, the quality issues affecting dairy powders and derived products are not fully controlled in developing countries. That is the case in Algeria, where recombined or reconstituted pasteurized milk is of low quality, reduced shelf-life, and the related dairies faced recurrent contaminations due to spores and biofilms. The transfer of spore-forming bacteria from exporters of dairy powders to importers in developing countries is an interesting topic, not thoroughly investigated. In addition, milk powder-based products are growing worldwide and their attributes, processes and technologies need to be better understood and controlled. This review analyzes issues affecting milk powder quality, based on few studies from developing countries in comparison with current knowledge, and emphasis on the case in Algeria. It provides information on how spore-forming bacteria and their biofilms affect the quality and shelf-life of recombined pasteurized milk produced in Algeria and compromise hygiene conditions in local dairy plants. Challenges and perspectives for better management of spore transfer from exporters of dairy powders to importers in developing countries are thereby outlined. Highlights: The presence of spore-forming bacteria in milk powder is a serious safety issue.Spores are not well known, characterized and controlled in importers from developing countries.Spores cause recurrent contamination of pasteurized milk and biofilm issues in Algerian dairies.Challenges are how to reduce the flow of spores in milk powder trade.Perspectives on identification targeting predominant spores and improvement of biofilm removal.
