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

Fermented soybean products have played a significant role in Asian diets for a long time. Due to their diverse flavours, nutritional benefits, and potential health-promoting properties, they have gained a huge popularity globally in recent years. Traditionally, soybean fermentation is conducted spontaneously, using microorganisms naturally present in the environment, or inoculating with traditional starter cultures. However, many potential health risks are associated with consumption of these traditionally fermented soybean products due to the presence of food pathogens, high levels of biogenic amines and mycotoxins. The use of starter culture technology in fermentation has been well-studied in recent years and confers significant advantages over traditional fermentation methods due to strict control of the microorganisms inoculated. This review provides a comprehensive review of microbial safety and health risks associated with consumption of traditional fermented soybean products, and how adopting starter culture technology can help mitigate these risks to ensure the safety of these products.
