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

Although spices have been used in food for centuries, little is known about their use to preserve insect-based foods. This study assessed the flour produced from blanched crickets treated with extracts of either ginger, garlic or both at a ratio of 1:4 (v/w) for color, pH, microbiological profile, sensory quality, and acceptability. Sodium benzoate treated and untreated cricket flour was used as positive and negative controls, respectively. The flour was stored at ambient conditions and analyzed on 0, 30, and 60 days of storage. The pH, moisture content and color change increased during storage but remained within acceptable limits. The total microbial count, yeast and molds significantly decreased with storage duration (
