Application of MALDI-TOF-MS in the surveillance of microbial diversity in butter production: a case study of Polish dairy.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
The primary objective of the study was to adapt and evaluate the utility of the rapid MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry) identification method for comprehensive microbiological safety monitoring across the farm-to-butter chain. The research was conducted as a detailed case analysis within a selected Polish dairy facility, focusing on the microbial profiling from the milking to the final product stage. The application of this method enabled comprehensive microbiota profiling of 400 milk samples, along with 63 additional samples from nine stages of the butter production process, resulting in the identification of 146 different cultivable microorganisms. The microbiota of fresh bovine milk was primarily composed of bacteria from the genera Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium, Aerococcus, and the species Bacillus licheniformis. The highest microbial diversity was observed in samples taken from tankers transporting milk to the dairy. Pasteurization effectively reduced the total number of microorganisms, but did not completely eliminate spore-forming or psychrophilic bacteria. The results emphasize the need to maintain a high level of hygiene at every stage of production in order to ensure microbiological safety and quality of dairy products.
