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

Oral processing of starch generates linear and branched maltooligosaccharides (MOS). This study investigates the impact of branching and the degree of polymerization (DP) on MOS taste detection. Three branched MOS samples (A-C) were enzymatically prepared from gelatinized waxy corn starch and characterized using reducing-end assays, MALDI-TOF MS, β-amylase hydrolysis, and GC-MS linkage analysis. Samples A, B, and C had average DPs of 6, 10, and 18, respectively, with α-1,6 branch points comprising 9-13% of glycosidic bonds; linear MOS were negligible. In triangle tests, participants evaluated MOS samples and a maltose control at 75 mM, with and without lactisole, a sweet receptor inhibitor. All samples were detectable without lactisole (
