Effects of Temperature on the Microbial Growth and Quality of Unsealed Dry Pet Food during Storage.
Article in Food science of animal resources, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Dry pet food is a convenient option for pet owners, but its storage conditions can impact its microbial growth and quality. In this study, we examined the effects of storage temperature on the quality and microbial growth of dry pet food. The pet food was stored at 25°C and 35°C, respectively, and samples were analyzed on days 0, 30, 90, and 120 for microbial growth and quality attributes such as pH, color, lipid oxidation, and volatile basic nitrogen. While no initial microbial growth was observed due to the low water content and water activity, quality attributes showed changes over time. However, the changes were negligible, indicating that dry pet food remains feedable for up to 120 days even at a storage temperature of 35°C. These findings suggest that dry pet food can be safely stored at room temperature or up to 35°C without compromising its quality.
