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 Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technique represents a modern technology for treating and processing food and agricultural raw materials. The application of high-voltage electric pulses has been shown to modify macrostructure, improve extractability, and enhance the microbial safety of the treated matrix. In this study, we investigated metabolomic changes occurring during the individual technological steps of malting following PEF treatment. Methanolic extracts of technological intermediates of malting barley were analyzed using metabolomic fingerprinting performed with UHPLC-HRMS/MS. For data processing and interpretation, the freely available MS-DIAL-MS-CleanR-MS-Finder software platform was used. The metabolomes of the treated and untreated barley samples revealed significant changes. Tentatively identified PEF-related biomarkers included 1,2-diacylglycerol-3-phosphates, triacylglycerols, linoleic acids and their derivatives, octadecanoids, N-acylserotonins, and very long-chain fatty acids, and probably reflect abiotic stress response. Monitoring of the profiles of selected biomarkers in PEF malting batch indirectly revealed a potential enhancement of enzymatic activity after the PEF treatment. These results contribute to fundamental knowledge regarding the influence of PEF on final malt from a metabolomic perspective.
