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

Currently, the world witnesses a growing interest toward conversion to a plant-based diet due to some behavioral or nutritional reasons. The fried green burger (FGB), which is globally known as "falafel" is an example of a flourishing plant-based burger in which meat is substituted with one of the legume seeds (which is not an oilseed) and processed by deep-fat frying. This plant-based food originated in the Middle East and some Asian regions many years ago, then spread to the Western world in the 20th century due to increased immigration. Made entirely from plants, FGB's appealing taste and relatively low price make it a potentially attractive meal option for dieters. In this review, the authors will discuss fundamental elements pertaining to the FGB. This includes the various types of plant ingredients employed in processing, along with their nutritional, anti-nutritional, and sensorial characteristics. The review examines various processing steps, including deep-fat frying. It discusses the challenges of the frying process, such as oil uptake and the generation of hazardous compounds that develop during this process. Additionally, it reviews developments aimed at improving the quality of (FGB) during frying.
