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.
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
Maintaining the solubility of micellar casein (MC) powder during storage is a major practical challenge. This study investigated the effects of storage temperature (-20 to 37 °C) on solubility and structure of MC powder. Results showed that solubility of MC powder was well preserved at 4 °C and -20 °C over 30 d, whereas higher storage temperatures led to a marked decline. Correspondingly, particle size and stability of rehydrated solution from powders stored at lower temperatures remained unchanged but increased significantly at elevated temperatures, alongside visible precipitation. Structural analysis indicated that surface cross-linking and reduced porosity occurred during storage, resulting in decreased solubility, which were effectively suppressed at 4 °C and -20 °C. These findings demonstrate that refrigerated storage at 4 °C is sufficient to maintain the solubility of MC powder, with no clear additional advantage observed at -20 °C under the tested conditions. This work provides practical guidance for optimizing MC powder storage.
