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

Cold Plasma (CP) is an innovative non-thermal technique that maintains the quality of foods. The kinetics of natural microbiota viz. aerobic mesophiles (AM) and yeasts & molds (YM) were examined within the domain of 18-30 kV, 2-10 mm juice depth, and 0-4 min treatment time. A log reduction of 3.08 and 2.32 was achieved for AM and YM, respectively, at 30 kV/2 mm/4 min. The inactivation kinetics for AM and YM were established using different kinetic models, namely Weibull + tail, Geeraerd, log-logistic, biphasic, and Coroller models. First, the suitability of model was determined according to goodness of fit (Coefficient of determination (R Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13197-024-06091-0.
