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

objectiveWe aimed to investigate the impacts of nitrate and nitrite on the salami fermentation process.

methodsExperimental groups of dry-fermented sausage were prepared with 100 ppm nitrite (T1), 150 ppm nitrite (T2), and 100 ppm nitrite+50 ppm nitrate (T3). Salami quality was evaluated after a 30-day fermentation-drying process.

resultsThere were no significant differences in residual nitrite levels between T1 and T2, while the T3 samples exhibited the highest residual nitrite. T2 (150 ppm nitrite) showed a significantly higher pH value compared to T1 (100 ppm nitrite). Water activity was lowest in the T2 sample. T1 had a higher thiobarbituric acid reactive substances value than other treatments. In the color analysis, the L* values of T1 and T2 were significantly higher than those of T3, whereas the a* values were significantly higher in T3. In the texture analysis, T3 exhibited a higher shear force than T1 and T2. In the microbial analysis, adding 50 and 100 ppm of nitrite did not reduce the total plate count (TPC) and lactic acid bacteria count. However, T3 had a lower TPC than T1 and T2.

conclusionThe results suggest that different levels of nitrite/nitrate affect salami quality. This study is a valuable resource for understanding how using nitrite and nitrate alone or in combination affects quality in salami production.
