Thermal Inactivation of Salmonella in Not-Ready-to-Eat Breaded Stuffed Chicken Products Using an Air Fryer: Impact on Safety, Quality, and Texture.
Article in Journal of food science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Multiple Salmonella outbreaks in the United States have been associated with undercooked not-ready-to-eat (NRTE) breaded stuffed chicken products, which require thorough cooking to ensure pathogen inactivation. Despite manufacturers' safe handling instructions, increasing consumer use of air fryers for these products poses potential food safety risks when no validated cooking guidelines are currently available. This study evaluated Salmonella inactivation and quality changes in NRTE breaded stuffed chicken cooked in two air fryer types (basket and oven-style) across three temperatures (176.7°C/350°F, 190.6°C/375°F, and 204.4°C/400°F) and five time points (10-30 min). Results demonstrated that basket-type air fryers achieved USDA-FSIS recommended 7-log Salmonella reductions and target internal temperatures (>74°C) faster than oven-type models: at 25 min (176.7°C/350°F), 20 min (190.6°C/375°F), and 20 min (204.4°C/400°F) versus 30, 30, and 25 min, respectively, for oven-type units. Color analysis revealed decreasing L* (lightness) and b* (yellowness) values with increasing time/temperature, while a* (redness) values remained higher than control cooking samples. Texture measurements showed MORS force increased with longer processing times. Based on microbiological, color, and texture analysis, specific conditions most closely matched control cooking results: oven-type air frying at 176.7°C (350°F) for 30 min and basket-type air frying at 176.7°C (350°F) for 25 min. These findings provide critical data for developing science-based cooking guidelines for air-fried NRTE stuffed chicken products, addressing an important food safety gap in consumer practices. Further research should validate these parameters across additional product formulations and air fryer models.
