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

The aim of this work was to identify the microbial agent(s) responsible for a structural defect in Provolone Valpadana, Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) cheese, and to establish their spread along the production line. Repeated sampling of defective cheeses and analyses of processing intermediates following two inspections at the cheese factory identified yeasts as the main causative agents. Microbiological analysis highlighted an almost constant presence of yeasts, which dominate over the other microbial groups. Forty yeast isolates from defective cheeses were identified by sequencing the D1/D2 region of the 26S rRNA gene.
