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 evaluated tetrabutyryl vitamin C ester (TVCE), a fat-soluble antioxidant, for preserving pork freshness (4 °C for 10 days). The total colony count, color difference, shearing force, juice loss rate, cooking loss rate, pH, thiobarbituric acid, volatile basic nitrogen, and texture of the pork were analyzed. The results showed that deterioration became significant after day 4. However, 1 % TVCE treatment significantly slowed this process, extending the shelf life of pork to 6-8 days. Key results on day 6 demonstrated TVCE's effectiveness: the treated group had a lower total colony count (5.72 ± 0.22 lgCFU/g vs. control 6.50 ± 0.15 lgCFU/g) and thiobarbituric acid value (0.62 ± 0.01 mg Malondialdehyde/kg vs. control 1.13 ± 0.06 mg Malondialdehyde/kg), indicating reduced microbial growth and lipid oxidation. TVCE inhibited surface microorganism growth, slowed protein/fat oxidation, and reduced water loss, maintaining pork quality. This offers a novel pork preservation strategy and expands TVCE application potential.
