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

Consumer demands for fresh and minimally processed liquid foods that support disease prevention and promote health emphasize the need for innovative processing technologies that ensure microbiological safety and preserve bioactive compounds. In addition, consumers are becoming more concerned about the presence of chemical additives in liquid foods. Non-thermal processing technologies, including high-pressure processing, high-pressure homogenization, pulsed electric field, pulsed magnetic field, high-pressure carbon dioxide, ultrasound treatment, radiation processing, ozone processing, cold plasma, and membrane processing, offer excellent prospects for the application in liquid foods. The given technologies aim to retain bioactive properties, deactivate enzymatic activity, and destroy microorganisms, thereby extending the shelf life of liquid foods. Thus, this current review, without a doubt, could be valuable to the liquid food industries and the scientific world by offering great insight into the latest developments in the use of innovative non-thermal processing technologies, which can be employed for shelf life extension and the retention of bioactive compounds in liquid foods. This paper also discusses the challenges faced by the liquid food industry that need to be addressed in future studies.
