Ultra-processed plant-based analogs: Addressing the challenging journey toward health and safety.
Review in Journal of food science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Currently, plant-based analogs are presented as healthier alternatives to the products they are intended to replace. However, the processing to which ultra-processed plant-based analogs are subjected to acquire the characteristics of animal-derived products might result in the opposite effect, producing unhealthy ultra-processed foods. In the present review, a list of strategies widely known and already employed in animal-derived products is suggested to achieve healthier, safer, and tastier ultra-processed plant-based analogs: fermentation, employment of probiotics and postbiotics, NaCl replacement or substitution, addition of antioxidants, and fatty profile enhancement. In general, these strategies are not yet applied to the plant-based products available on the market; thus, this research paper might induce new investigation pathways for researchers and producers to develop actually healthier alternatives.
