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

Chewing gum is a commonly used food product, and sugar-free chewing gum consumption is also frequent. Although artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, are used in food recipes to replace sugar, they can be associated with health problems. Thus, it is necessary to develop products with natural sweeteners and polyols as sugar substitutes. This study aimed to investigate the use of stevia and xylitol in the production of chewing gum. Four different recipes for chewing gums (sorbitol + aspartame, sorbitol + stevia, sorbitol + xylitol + aspartame, and sorbitol + xylitol + stevia) were created by keeping the amounts of the ingredients other than the sweeteners and polyols constant. The differences in the color, texture, and sensory properties of the chewing gum samples were evaluated. Accelerated shelf-life test (AST) was also employed to evaluate the stability of the samples during storage. The substitution of sorbitol with xylitol caused color changes (decreased
