Ultrafiltration of Whole Milk: Impact of Homogenization and Ultrafiltration Temperature on Processing Efficiency and Component Retention.

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
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of thermal and homogenization pre-treatments on ultrafiltration (UF) efficiency and component retention in whole milk (WM). Four milk treatments were examined using a benchtop Optisep filtration system: skim milk (SM) processed in UF at 15 °C, homogenized WM processed in UF at 15 °C (T1), non-homogenized WM processed in UF at 15 °C (T2), and non-homogenized WM processed at 43 °C (T3). UF was performed using 10 kDa membranes to achieve 3× concentration, and the retention and flux rates were compared across treatments. Compositional changes were analyzed at each stage: initial, retentate (2X, 3X, Final), and permeate. The permeate flux varied across treatments; SM showed the highest initial permeate flux and achieved the target concentration in a shorter time. T1 maintained a steady permeate flux over time. T2 exhibited a steep decline in flux, reaching only a 2.5× concentration. In contrast, T3 initially displayed a higher permeate flux due to heat treatment and reduced viscosity. There were significant differences in compositional parameters. T1 retentate had significantly (
