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

The limited market adoption of plant-based meat analogues (PBMA) stems from high costs and suboptimal texture. Low-moisture extrusion, the dominant industrial-scale production method for PBMA, offers advantages in cost-efficiency and versatility but remains constrained by material-dependent texture limitations. We innovatively employed low-cost soybean meal (SM) and soybean powder (SP) for PBMA production. Optimizing SM:SP ratios (9:1-5:5) enhanced textural, structural, and cost attributes. Evaluated parameters included hardness, chewiness, fiber degree (FD), porosity, water absorption capacity (WA), water holding capacity (WHC), and protein secondary structures. The 7:3 ratio achieved optimal performance: maximal FD (1.53), balanced hardness, highest springiness (0.93), and uniform porosity (34.78 %). Excessive SP (>30 %) compromised structural integrity, increasing brittleness and reducing WHC. FTIR analysis revealed that the 7:3 ratio promoted α-helix formation enhancing elasticity, while β-sheet content (38.74 %) improved hardness. Quadratic polynomial predictive models demonstrated high accuracy (R
