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

The objective of this study is to optimize the allocation of storage positions in a cold storage facility for meat products, guaranteeing compliance with the cold chain and improving logistical efficiency. To this end, a mathematical optimization model was designed and applied that strategically assigns storage locations based on inventory turnover and product accessibility. Different configurations were evaluated based on space utilization criteria, access times, and operating costs. Based on the analyzed data, the findings indicate a significant improvement in storage efficiency, with utilization reaching 71.87% in U1, U2, U3, and UE units and 75% in C1 and C2 units. In addition, the new distribution minimized handling times and reduced the risk of product spoilage. Based on these findings, it is demonstrated that optimizing cold storage distribution not only improves inventory management and operational logistics but also contributes to system sustainability by reducing waste and costs associated with inefficient handling of perishable products.
