OXITEST as a Screening Method to Evaluate Antioxidant Agents: A Study of Oxidative Stability of Fishmeal.
Article in International journal of food science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Oxidation in fishmeal (FM) can generate sufficient heat to potentially trigger combustion, making it essential to assess its risk of self-ignition before transport to prevent fires. Ethoxyquin, commonly used to mitigate this risk, has been banned in some markets due to its genotoxicity, driving the search for alternative antioxidants. The traditional method to evaluate this risk, the SW-846 1050 test, is costly and time-consuming. We used the simpler and cheaper OXITEST method to assess the oxidative stability of FM by comparing oxygen consumption in FM with and without antioxidants. Fresh FM without antioxidants was used, which was stored at -30°C for 6 months. FM contained 7.2% moisture, 18.8% ash, 64.3% protein, and 9.7% crude fat; of the lipids, 75% were neutral, and 25% were phospholipids. The fatty acid profile of the lipids revealed high levels of EPA and DHA, with a DHA/EPA ratio greater than 1, which makes the FM more prone to oxidation compared to anchovy oil. Initial results demonstrated oxygen consumption in FM samples, although the inflection point (IP) was not detected. In a second step, after optimizing the sample volume (50 g), temperature (80°C), and time (4 h), oxygen consumption was evaluated by OXITEST in FM samples with increasing concentrations of ethoxyquin, demonstrating an inverse correlation between concentrations of ethoxyquin and oxygen consumption (Pearson's linear). Finally, we evaluated FM samples with various commercial antioxidants and compared the area under the curve for oxygen pressure versus time using FM alone as a negative control and FM with 750 ppm of ethoxyquin as the positive control. OXITEST measurements revealed differences in the rate of oxygen pressure loss among the studied agents, offering a comparative measure of antioxidant efficiency. The OXITEST method can be employed as a rapid and cost-effective method to evaluate oxidative stability and the effectiveness of antioxidants in FM.
