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

Yeasts play a crucial role in converting sugars in flour into carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethanol, enabling dough leavening. This study focused on identifying efficient wild yeast strains isolated from various fruits for leavening under controlled laboratory conditions. Of the 88 wild yeast isolates obtained, three (AAUGr5, AAUOr7, and AAUPi3) were selected based on their ability to produce CO2 efficiently, using D-glucose (3 g/L) as a substrate and their non-hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production character. These isolates were tentatively identified as members of the Saccharomyces genus through cultural, morphological, and biochemical analyses and optimal physicochemical profiling. Optimal growth conditions in Yeast Extract Peptone Dextrose (YPD) medium were a pH of 5 and a temperature of 30 °C. Maximum growth was observed with 2% (w/v) D-glucose and 0.5% (w/v) NaCl concentrations, achieving peak biomass after 96 hrs of incubation. Notably, isolate AAUGr5 displayed superior leavening performance compared to commercial yeast with 9.09% and 8.92% at 30 °C and room temperature, respectively. Furthermore, a co-culture of these H2S-free wild yeast strains demonstrated enhanced leavening activity, underscoring their potential for baking applications to produce high-quality bread.
