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
This study investigated the effects of bovine colostrum and whey protein concentrate (WPC) on the physicochemical, functional, microbiological, and sensory properties of fermented milk beverages formulated with different ingredient compositions and starter culture variants. Four formulations were evaluated during two weeks of refrigerated storage. WPC addition markedly reduced viscosity, with the lowest value observed in WPC enhanced samples (0.26 Pa·s), whereas skimmed milk powder contributed to a more balanced texture. Syneresis was highest in the WPC-rich formulation (6.9 mL) and lower in colostrum-containing samples (3.2-4.9 mL), indicating improved water-holding capacity. Colostrum enhanced antioxidant activity, with ABTS values reaching approximately 240-250 µM Trolox/mL during mid-storage, followed by a decline on day 14. Sensory evaluation showed the highest consumer acceptance for samples containing balanced proportions of colostrum and WPC, while formulations with high WPC content scored lower due to inferior texture and appearance. The applied formulations also supported the viability of
