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

Lager beer has the characteristics of a refreshing aroma, clean and less intense taste, as well as a low alcohol degree, which is suitable for daily drinking. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between important flavor compounds and flavor profiles for lager beer. Headspace solid-phase microextraction, solvent-assisted flavor evaporation combined with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry were applied for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the trace components in lager beer. Furthermore, the recombination experiment was successfully applied to simulate the flavor profile, and the omission experiment was conducted to study the effects of flavor compounds on the flavor profile. A total of nine compounds were identified as the key flavor compounds, and their contribution to the flavor characteristics of lager beer was verified according to validation experiments. It was found that the influence of the key flavor compounds on the sensory attributes such as malty aroma, fruity aroma, sweetness, and bitterness varied with their concentration. These findings might provide ideas for the research regarding the flavor compounds and flavor profile of lager beer, and contribute to the development of different types of beer in the future.
