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

Storage temperature (ST) and grain moisture content (GMC) critically influence cereal quality during storage. However, their interactive effects, the associations among oxidative indicators, quality components and major volatile organic compounds (VOCs) variations in millet during storage are not fully understood. In this study, foxtail millet was stored for 360 days at three STs (-18 °C, 4 °C and 25 °C) and three GMC levels (11.50%, 12.80% and 14.30%). Changes in oxidative indicators (malondialdehyde [MDA], electrical conductivity [EC] and catalase activity [CAT]) and quality components (crude protein [CP], yellow pigment [YP] and soluble sugar [SS]) were monitored. Viscosity characteristics and VOCs were analysed after storage. Under this study, ST was the primary factor driving the changes in oxidative indicators and quality components during the storage stage. The viscosity characteristics of stored millet are primarily influenced by ST, while the changes in major VOCs are mainly affected by ST, GMC, and their interaction effects. Significant negative correlations were observed between EC or MDA and dodecanenitrile and (E/Z)-4-heptenal, whereas the YP, CP, and SS were significantly positively correlated with both compounds. After day 360, the samples stored at -18 °C with 11.5% GMC exhibited 34.05% lower MDA content and 29.55% lower EC than those stored at 25 °C with 14.3% GMC. The treatment better preserved CAT, SS, YP, viscosity characteristics and major VOCs, including (E/Z)-4-heptenal. These findings provide a scientific basis for optimising storage conditions to maintain the nutritional and sensory quality of foxtail millet.
