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

backgroundscleroglucan, an extracellular polysaccharide with gel-forming, thickening, and stabilizing properties, was used as a structure-forming agent in low-fat yogurt formulations. The aim of this study was to evaluate its influence on the fermentation process and the physicochemical, rheological, textural, microstructural, and sensory properties of the yogurts.

methodscontrol samples were formulated with the addition of skim milk powder (SMP), whereas experimental yogurts contained scleroglucan at concentrations of 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1.0% (

resultsthe results showed that scleroglucan slowed acidification and increased the apparent viscosity, yield stress, and firmness of yogurts, while completely eliminating syneresis. Scleroglucan also modified the volatile profile by decreasing acetaldehyde and increasing 2,3-pentanedione levels during storage. The survival of

conclusionsthe yogurt containing 1.0% scleroglucan was rated highest in overall acceptability. These findings demonstrate that scleroglucan can serve as a natural, clean-label stabilizer and an alternative to skim milk powder in low-fat set-style yogurts.
