Biogenic amines' residues in meat products with a reference to their microbial status.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2024. 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
Background: Meat products are widely recognized as substantial sources of protein derived from animals. Biogenic amines (BAs), naturally occurring toxins, are generated via the metabolism of specific amino acids by a vast array of microorganisms, including pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains. Aim: The aim of this study was to ascertain the quantity of BAs produced in five meat products that are commercially available in Egypt. Additionally, the estimated daily BA intakes of the Egyptian populace as a result of consuming these animal products were computed. Additionally, a study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between total BAs (TBAs) and microbial counts, specifically total bacterial counts (TBCs), total psychrophilic counts (TPsC), total Staphylococcus aureus (TSC), and total Enterobacteriaceae count (TEC) as they pertained to the meat products under investigation. Methods: One hundred samples of meat products (n = 20 for each) were selected at random from Egyptian markets. The collected samples included minced meat, luncheon, sausage, pasterma, and canned meat. The microbiological status and BA content of these samples were evaluated. Results: Total BAs were calculated for the examined samples beef mince had the highest TBA content at 918.22 ± 21.3 mg/Kg followed by sausage at 575.1 ± 12.8 mg/Kg, luncheon at 567.1 ± 17.8 mg/Kg, pasterma at 417.0 ± 31.8 mg/Kg, and canned meat at 242.8 ± 21.8 mg/Kg. The calculated estimated human daily intake (EDI) values for TBA ranged between 21.24 in canned meat to 80.34 in beef mince. It was determined that beef mince had the highest microbial contamination rates as indicated by the high TBC, TPsC, TSC, and TEC at 5.69 ± 0.4, 4.2 ± 0.5, 2.4 ± 0.2, and 4.69 ± 0.1 log 10 cfu/g. Such counts were 3.6 ± 0.2, 2.4 ± 0.2, 1.2 ± 0.1, and 4.3± 0.2 log 10 cfu/g in sausage, 3.4 ± 0.3, 2.2 ± 0.1, 1.1 ± 0.1, and 4.0 ± 0.1 log 10 cfu/g in luncheon, 2.5 ± 0.1, 1.0 ± 0.1, 1.4 ± 0.08, and 2.69 ± 0.2 log 10 cfu/g in pasterma; while none of the examined canned meat harbored microbial contamination. Conclusion: This study indicated the presence of several BAs in meat products sold in Egypt. According to the EDI values of the examined BAs, the consumption of meat products by the Egyptian populace did not pose a risk. However, it is imperative that the handling, storage, distribution, and promotion of meat products conform to sanitary protocols.
