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

Tiroler Bergkäse PDO is a traditional Austrian hard cheese from Tyrol, a product of great regional significance. This study aimed to describe Tiroler Bergkäse PDO by comparing it with Bergkäse without PDO from Tyrol and a Stilfser type cheese from South Tyrol. To account for variability, three cheese wheels from three production days were analyzed for each cheese. Multimethodological characterization included quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction, Ion Exchange Chromatography, and Headspace-Solid Phase Microextraction/Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. The characterization Tiroler Bergkäse PDO should impart potentially unique features. Multivariate analysis of the bacterial composition, free amino acid content, and volatile fraction revealed differences between all cheeses (α = 0.05). A triangle test confirmed significant differences, with more pronounced differences between the Bergkäse type cheeses and the Stilfser type cheese. The Stilfser type showed distinct differences in bacterial composition, amino acid content, and volatile profile, making it less similar to the Bergkäse type cheeses. Multivariate analysis also revealed differences between the PDO and non-PDO Bergkäse which is characterized by high levels of L.
