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 the nutritional and rheological properties of biscuits formulated with wheat flour (WF) and pumpkin seed flour (PSF) blends in different ratios (100:0, 95:5, 90:10, 85:15, and 80:20). Pumpkin seeds were ground and analyzed for moisture (3.93%), ash (0.64%), fat (23.74%), fiber (30.45%), protein (19.83%), and nitrogen-free extract (21.39%). Composite dough rheology was assessed using farinograph, mixograph tests, and near-infrared (NIR) analysis. Biscuits were stored for 60 days at a relative humidity (50% ± 5%) and temperature (25°C ± 2°C) and evaluated every 15 days interval for proximate, textural (20 mm diameter cylindrical probe), color, physical, and sensory properties. The farinographic analyses showed that the highest water absorption (63.17 mL/100 g) and dough development time (5.14 min) were observed with 20% PSF, although dough stability decreased (3.14 min). The addition of PSF to biscuits increased their nutritional and textural properties. The D3 (85:15) formulation exhibited optimal texture, color, and nutritional quality. During storage, D3 retained moisture (4.92%), ash (1.45%), fiber (7.86%-7.91%), and texture (hardness: 59.62-59.69 N), achieving the highest overall acceptability score (8.33).
