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

This study analyzed the effects of different freezing methods on the flavor characteristics of preprepared green pepper and shredded pork dishes using electronic-nose (E-nose), electronic-tongue (E-tongue), and Headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) technologies. It explored the correlation between flavor changes and freezing rate, microstructure, water distribution, and texture. Results showed significant effects of freezing methods on flavor profiles. Principal component analysis confirmed that E-nose and E-tongue effectively distinguished odor and taste characteristics, with liquid nitrogen freezing yielding sensory quality closest to fresh samples. HS-GC-IMS determined 31 key markers via Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Correlation analysis revealed that rapid freezing shortened ice crystal formation time, preserved myofibrillar structure, and inhibited bound water migration, retaining beneficial flavors like acetic acid-D and acetic acid ethyl ester while suppressing undesirable ones. This study confirms that higher freezing rates maintain sensory quality and characteristic flavors, providing a basis for optimizing freezing processes.
