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

Low-moisture foods such as spices, grains, and seeds constitute an important part of the human diet. Increased consumer concern for food safety and food quality has focused on the decontamination technologies required for low-moisture foods. Cold plasma treatment has been a promising novel technology in the food processing industry due to its advantages in safety, efficiency, versatility, and environmentally friendly nature. It has shown various capabilities on safety and quality control in low-moisture foods. This paper comprehensively reviewed the application of cold plasma in low-moisture foods, including inactivation of microorganisms, degradation of mycotoxins, influences on the quality of low-moisture foods, and promotion of seed germination. Cold plasma can inactivate the pathogenic microorganisms on the surface of low-moisture foods, by generating active species, ultraviolet radiation, and electric fields, which helps to extend the shelf life of foods while having minimal impact on food quality. Cold plasma technology is also an effective approach to detoxify mycotoxin-contaminated low-moisture foods by degrading various mycotoxins. With the manipulation of parameters for cold plasma generation, target functional properties of food products may be obtained. In addition, the application of cold plasma in seed germination is promising and could be of great significance to the global food crisis. This review also suggests that more systematic studies are needed to employ cold plasma in the low-moisture foods industry for selected applications.
