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

Functional foods represent a new and thriving area of research. A significant direction of these studies is based on new products containing edible house cricket-derived additives. The aim of the presented studies was to determine the effect of using cricket powder (at 10% and 30% content) on the extrusion cooking parameters and the nutritional value, antioxidant activity, and selected physical properties of extruded potato-based snack pellets. The results suggest that house cricket powder is a promising functional ingredient. The processing efficiency and the physical and functional properties of the extrudates, including SME, WAI, WSI, bulk density, and mechanical durability, were affected by the addition of cricket powder, screw speed, and moisture content. Generally, higher levels of cricket powder reduced processing efficiency and altered structural properties due to changes in composition, particularly the balance between protein, fiber, and starch. The addition of cricket powder significantly improved antioxidant activity (>94% of DPPH scavenging for 30% content of additive) and increased the total polyphenol content in the assessed samples in comparison to potato bases (212.3 and 21.7 μg GAE/g dry weight, respectively). These innovative snack pellets containing cricket powder could be an appealing option due to their potential health benefits.
