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 paper investigates the role of anisotropy in the deformation of meat during cooking, and how it influences transport properties such as diffusion and thermal conductivity. To address this multiphysics problem a Finite Element model was developed, coupling mass transfer of water with thermal energy transport and large-strain solid mechanics. To account for fiber directionality, an anisotropic constitutive model with swelling-driven deformation is implemented. Particular emphasis is given to the definition of the reference configuration. Numerical simulations reveal that fiber orientation significantly influences the local stretch and overall shape evolution during pan frying. The magnitude and anisotropy of the deformation are sensitive to the swelling parameters and the fiber stiffness. These findings offer insights into the physical origin of cooking-induced texture transformations in meat and provide a framework for modeling fibrous biological materials undergoing thermal and fluid-driven processes.
