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 aimed to investigate the effects of oven baking (180°C for 40 min), microwaving (8 min), and steaming (20 min) on the physicochemical properties, β-carotene content, and in vitro digestibility of sweet pumpkin flours, along with the sensory profiles of muffins and noodles prepared with the treated flours. Among treatments, oven-baked flour exhibited the highest β-carotene content (477.6 ± 3.8 mg/100 g) compared to native flour (NF) (379.9 ± 0.2 mg/100 g). NF exhibited the highest RS content (13.2%), and although heat treatment slightly reduced resistant starch (RS) levels (11.4-12.9%), oven-baked flour retained RS most effectively among the treated samples. Muffins and noodles incorporating oven-baked flour showed higher RS content compared to control products (p < 0.05). Muffins and noodles prepared with oven-baked flour showed lower grassy-flavor intensity and more pronounced yellowish appearance than those with other treatments (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that thermal processing, particularly oven baking, enhances the nutritional and sensory properties of sweet pumpkin flour, supporting its use as a functional ingredient in bakery and noodle products.
