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

Based on the need for a scientific basis for existing requirements in EU legislation on freezing of meat or for its possible amendment, the opinion compares microbial growth of relevant pathogenic, spoilage and indicator microorganisms within five scenarios of chilling, storage and defrosting of bovine, ovine and porcine meat, using predictive microbiology models that considered various conditions of temperature and, where possible, pH and a
