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 study was to assess the influence of milk's rennet coagulation properties (RCPs) on cheese yield and cheese-making losses in the production of Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese. Higher contents of citric acid (181.10 vs. 172.13 vs. 166.47 mg/100 g) and phosphorus (95.02 vs. 91.14 vs. 88.78 mg/100 g) in milk with optimal and sub-optimal RCPs, compared to milk with poor RCPs, respectively, positively affect the acidity of the milk, lowering the pH values (6.68 vs. 6.70 vs. 6.72, respectively), which results in a faster reaction between chymosin and casein and consequently a reduced time of milk coagulation. The lower values of curd firming time and the higher values of curd firmness, strength to cut (68.97 vs. 64.43 vs. 44.38 g), and strength to compression (31.48 vs. 30.49 vs. 25.70 g) for milk with optimal and sub-optimal coagulation, compared to milk with poor coagulation, result in a higher stress resistance across the technological steps of the cheese-making process, leading to lower fat losses (14.23 vs. 15.48 vs. 16.72%) in the whey and a higher cheese yield (8.79 vs. 8.56 vs. 8.08 kg/100 kg).
