Development of ambient-stable fish cake snacks: effects of extrusion-retort parameters on physical and microbial properties.
Article in Food science and biotechnology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Surimi-based fish cakes are valued for their high protein content but face challenges in cross-contamination and limited shelf-life during batch processing. This study introduces the first ambient-stable fish cake snack produced via a continuous extrusion-retort process, enhancing microbial safety and shelf stability. Response surface methodology (RSM) and a Box-Behnken design (BBD) were used to optimize moisture content (0-16%), thermal processing time (5-30 min), and extruder's rotor speed (30-50 revolutions per minute, rpm) to improve texture and strength. The resulting snacks showed breaking force (614.17-1341.7 N), hardness (202.9-410 N), elasticity (104.59-113.92%), and tensile strength (326.7-1465.8 kPa). In addition, sensory evaluation showed superior chewiness, elasticity, texture, and preference over conventional products, confirming that improvements in physical properties to enhanced consumer preference. This work establishes a novel process framework for continuous manufacturing of shelf-stable surimi-based snacks, offering enhanced process control and product quality through extrusion technology and RSM-driven parameter modeling.
