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

Thermal sterilization significantly influences milk aroma, which is a key factor affecting consumer acceptability. This study employed molecular sensory science to characterize aroma profiles and key aroma-active compounds (AACs) of raw and four thermally sterilized milks. High-intensity sterilization enhanced the milky, fatty, and sweet attributes. Eighty volatiles were identified using a self-built milk flavor database, and 45 odorants were sniffed with flavor dilution (FD) factors of 1-64. Twenty-six odorants (FD ≥ 8) were quantified using external standard calibration. To further improve the precision of quantification, eight AACs (FD ≥ 64; odor activity values ≥1) were quantified by stable isotope dilution analysis for the first time. Recombination and omission experiments revealed 16 key AACs, of which 1-octen-3-ol and butyric acid represented key contributors across five milks, octanal, nonanal, γ-nonalactone, and 2(
