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

Value addition in food products is essential to meet changing market trends and lifestyle demands, enhancing both quality and market value. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the accelerated shelf-life of coconut squash. Five formulations with varying coconut milk concentrations (100-500 mL/L) were analyzed over 56 days at room temperature (20 °C). The Q10 method, using acid value as a spoilage factor and temperature as an acceleration factor, was employed for shelf-life prediction. Physicochemical and antioxidant properties were monitored, revealing decreases in pH, total sugars, total phytochemicals, and antioxidant activity, alongside increases in acidity, TSS, and FFA during storage. Sensory evaluation identified T5 as the optimal formulation due to its superior quality attributes and a predicted shelf life of 121 days. These findings highlight T5's potential for commercial applications as a high-quality, functional beverage.
