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

Entomophagy has recently gained attention as a potential solution to the problems of food and nutritional security. One example is the consumption of edible stinkbug. Different drying techniques may affect the nutritional, microbiological and sensory properties of the edible stinkbugs. Thus, the study assessed the effects of toasting, microwave, oven and sun drying on the nutritional composition, microbiological quality and sensory attributes of processed edible stinkbugs. Drying significantly (p < 0.05) increased the crude protein and fat content of the edible stink bugs with the highest values being recorded for the toasted samples (66.65 & 37.17% respectively). Highest Ca, K, Zn, Mg, Fe and P values were recorded after microwave drying. Reduction of 2.94 and 2.99 log cycles of the total viable count (TVC) was observed in oven and microwave dried edible stinkbugs. Toasting and microwave drying eliminated the yeasts and moulds,
