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

This study aimed to investigate metabolic differences between mixed- and single-culture fermentation in black mulberry juice (BMJ). Using E-nose, E-tongue, and metabolomics, we analyzed metabolic profile variations and flavor compounds in BMJ fermented with different lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Results demonstrated that BMJ is an excellent fermentation substrate, with both cultures achieving colony counts exceeding 8 log CFU/mL after fermentation. Volcano plot and cluster analyses revealed that single-culture fermentation exhibited higher efficiency in biotransforming and degrading specific compounds, yet its metabolic profile was less diverse. In contrast, mixed-culture fermentation enhanced metabolic diversity through complementary pathways among strains, improving complex molecule production, optimizing flavors, reducing bitterness/astringency, and minimizing vitamin loss. This research provides a foundation for fermented mulberry beverage development. Future studies could integrate multi-omics analyses to advance industrial applications.
