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

Fermentation techniques produce distinct microbes and qualities of various fermented chili peppers. However, comparative studies on chili peppers fermented using different techniques are limited. This study investigated the characteristic microbes and qualities of pickled and salted chili peppers through targeted and non-targeted analysis. The results revealed that Lactiplantibacillus and Weissella were the dominant microbes in pickled and salted chili peppers respectively. Additionally, pickled chilli peppers contained 6 key unique volatiles, with geraniol and β-myrcene showing significant positive correlation with Lactiplantibacillus. In contrast, salted chilli peppers contained 3 key unique volatiles, with no significant correlation with Weissella. Naringenin, trans-ferulic acid, and DL-p-hydroxyphenyllactic acid in pickled chili peppers exhibited significant positive correlation with Lactiplantibacillus. The weak correlation between Weissella and qualities in salted chili peppers may result from the inhibition of high-salt environment. This study provides insights for inoculated fermentation strategies to preserve microbial diversity and distinct flavors in different fermented chili peppers.
