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

Low-temperature food printing technology is used in many fields, such as personalized nutrition, cooking art, food design and medical nutrition. By precisely controlling the deposition temperature of the ink, a food with a finer and more controllable structure can be produced. This paper investigates the influence of nozzle temperature on printing performance via a numerical simulation and experimental research. The results indicate that the ink gradually changed from a granular state to a fLow-characteristic deposition structure when the nozzle temperature increased from 19 °C to 27 °C. When the nozzle temperature exceeded 21 °C, the ink demonstrated excellent extrusion behavior and tended to flow. The widths of the rectangular frame deposition showed no obvious changes and were 4.07 mm, 4.05 mm and 4.20 mm, respectively. The extrusion behavior of the ink showed a structural mutation in the temperature range of 19-21 °C. Its line width changed from 3.15 mm to 3.73 mm, and its deposition structure changed from a grainy shape to a normal shape. Under the influence of different environmental control capabilities, bulk structure deposition demonstrates an ideal printing performance at 21, 23 and 25 °C, and the latter temperature is more suitable in the case of large external interference. The ink flowed violently when the nozzle temperature reached 27 °C, at which point the deposit structure flowed and deformed seriously. On the other hand, evaporation losses had a strong effect on Low-viscosity ink. To reach the full potential of this promising technology, it is necessary to determine the effect of nozzle temperature on printing performance. This article provides a method for developing and applying Low-viscosity, Low-temperature food printing.
