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

Gelatin is widely used in dairy desserts; however, plant-based alternatives are increasingly gaining popularity. In this study, potato starch was modified using ozone as an environmentally friendly oxidizing agent. The modification was combined with thermal preheating and controlled starch concentration, and optimization was performed using response surface methodology (RSM) to obtain an optimized starch sample with minimum syneresis and maximum hardness. Subsequently, the complete replacement of gelatin with ozone-modified starch (MS), in combination with κ-carrageenan (C), was investigated in a semi-solid dairy dessert. Different formulations containing MS (0.25-1.25%) and C (0.5-1.0%) were evaluated in terms of color, texture, syneresis, sensory attributes, and rheological properties. The optimized sample (MS 1.25%-C 0.5%) exhibited a hardness of 0.477 N, cohesiveness of 0.65, and hydrogel strength of 0.33 N, closely resembling the gelatin control. Color differences (ΔE) ranged from 29.64 to 31.40, with slightly lower L∗ values than the control (72.57). Increasing MS concentration reduced syneresis, making its behavior similar to the control (3.79%). Sensory evaluation indicated comparable flavor among all samples, with only minor differences in texture and color. Rheological measurements showed that the optimized dessert exhibited higher storage modulus (G' ≈ 615 Pa) and loss modulus (G″ ≈ 75 Pa) than the control, predominantly elastic behavior (G' > G″), and pseudoplastic viscosity with controlled shear-thinning behavior. These findings demonstrate that the combination of MS and C can serve as an effective and environmentally friendly alternative to gelatin, producing a stable, elastic, and sensorially acceptable dairy dessert.
