Effect of Heat Pasteurization and Sterilization on Milk Safety, Composition, Sensory Properties, and Nutritional Quality.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Milk pasteurization and sterilization by heat treatment have an exciting history, which followed steady steps. The main aim of these treatments is to extend the shelf life of milk by destroying pathogenic and milk spoilage bacteria. With developments in pasteurization techniques, the assurance of milk safety, and extended shelf life, pasteurized bovine milk has become a staple food, especially in Western diets. However, some concerns have recently been raised about the effect of pasteurization on the sensory properties and nutritional quality of milk, and alternative methods, such as high-pressure processing, are being investigated. The primary purpose of milk pasteurization and sterilization is summarized in this review article. The associated changes that affect the compositional, sensory, and nutritional quality of milk are discussed, with particular emphasis on protein structure and function. The review is concluded by considering alternative methods, their advantages and limitations, along with future prospects.
