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
The aroma of yak milk powder is a crucial sensory indicator for evaluating its quality and flavor. Yak milk powders collected from different lactation periods exhibit distinct flavors, but no studies have thoroughly investigated the aroma characteristics and variation patterns of yak milk powders across these periods. This study identified and analyzed the volatile compounds in freeze-dried colostrum powder (YCSP), freeze-dried mature milk powder (YMMP), and freeze-dried ending milk powder (YEMP) using headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and multivariate statistical analysis. A total of 48 volatile compounds were identified, with significant differences in the types and contents of these compounds across the three samples. Compared to YCSP and YEMP, YMMP contained higher levels of acids and esters, while the levels of alkanes and alcohols were lower. Principal component analysis (PCA), orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), and hierarchical clustering heatmap analysis revealed a high degree of differentiation and notable variation in volatile compounds between the samples from different lactation periods. Key compounds such as aldehydes, alcohols, and esters were found to distinguish the lactation stages, with certain compounds more prevalent in colostrum and others in mature and ending milk. These findings suggest that the methodologies employed-HS-SPME-GC-MS combined with multivariate analysis-can effectively distinguish flavor differences among yak milk powders from different lactation periods. This approach allows for the rapid and comprehensive analysis of volatile components in milk powders, aiding in the identification of collection periods and providing valuable insights for improving the flavor quality of dairy products. Furthermore, the results can benefit the dairy industry by enhancing product development, quality control, and flavor profiling of milk-based products across different stages of lactation.
