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

Malted grains subjected to extrusion technology could have better quality indices than non-malted grains. The effects of malting and extrusion on the functional and physical qualities of foods extruded from malted brown rice and pigeon pea flour blends were investigated. Malted pigeon pea and brown rice flours were processed into blends, extruded under various conditions of feed moisture levels (15-20), feed compositions (8-30%), and barrel temperatures (100-130 °C), and analyzed using Response Surface Methodology with a Box-Behnken design. The impacts of malting and extrusion were assessed on the following functional qualities: bulk density, rheology, swelling capacity, water absorption capacity, and solubility. The physical quality assessment included a 2-D photographic representation of the extrudates, a microscopic assessment of their internal structure, expansion index, color parameters (L*, a*, b*), and alterations in the color index. Increased feed moisture, malted pigeon pea, and decreased barrel temperature resulted in a higher bulk density (0.72 to 0.84 g/cm
