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

The need for sustainable protein alternatives has led to an exploration of edible insects as meat extenders. This study investigated the feasibility of reducing beef content in burgers by incorporating insect-based ingredients and examined the effect on physicochemical, techno-functional and sensory properties, as well as consumer acceptance and willingness to buy hybrid beef-insect products. Beef-insect hybrid burgers were developed by replacing 10%-40% of ground beef with a cricket-based ingredient formulated to approximate the protein and functional properties of beef. The physicochemical properties (colour, texture, moisture and cooking loss) were tested, and consumer preference testing was conducted with 67 participants. Data were analysed using ANOVA, nonparametric tests, and multiple linear regression. Replacement of beef up to 40% did not significantly affect texture, moisture, or cooking loss compared with the control beef-only burger. Colour differences were limited to the lightness (
