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

Soy sauce is a traditional Korean condiment made by fermenting soybeans. Its market success is influenced by intrinsic factors (sensory characteristics) and extrinsic factors (brand, packaging, price). This study examined how these factors impact consumer hedonic responses and sensory perception. Two soy sauce samples (S1, S2) were tested over two days (N = 112): a blind test on Day 1 (test 1) and an unblinded test on Day 2 (test 2). Consumer acceptance was evaluated using a 9-point hedonic scale, while sensory perception and emotional responses were assessed using check-all-that-apply (CATA) questions. Results showed that S1 scored significantly higher than S2 in appearance, overall, flavor, kokumi, and umami likings (p < 0.05). Packaging information had minimal impact on consumer hedonic responses and sensory perception, suggesting that extrinsic factors did not strongly influence soy sauce evaluation. Keywords: Soy sauce; packaging; consumer acceptance; emotional response, CATA.
