Quality Properties of Innovative Goat Milk Kefir Enriched with Date Paste (
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The aim of this work was to evaluate the impact of fortifying goat milk kefir with high-value ingredients (3% and 6% date paste, and 25% and 50% goat milk substitution with date-cheese whey), derived from the valorization of date coproducts, on its nutritional (proximate composition and mineral profile), technological (pH, acidity, viscosity, color, sugar and organic acid content), microbiological and sensory properties. Both ingredients enhanced the growth and stability of the kefir starter culture, thereby improving the probiotic potential of date-added kefir and also its nutritious quality (lower fat content and higher protein content). The mineral profile of kefir was improved only when the date paste was added. Date paste could be used as an ingredient in fortified kefir (up to 6%) without altering its flow properties because it was perfectly integrated within the milk matrix. The use of date-cheese whey as a goat milk substitution (>25%) decreased the typical kefir viscosity, inducing an excessive phase separation negatively valued by consumers. Consumers preferred the kefir with 6% date paste mainly due to its higher scores for aroma, flavor, sweetness and acidity.
