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

This study evaluated the effects of natural and functional lipid sources, including butter, palm kernel oil, cocoa butter substitute, flaxseed oil, and sunflower oil, on the quality of spreadable processed cheese analogues during 60 days of refrigerated storage. Formulations were standardized to comparable moisture, fat, and protein contents to isolate the effect of lipid type on physicochemical, techno-functional, nutritional, and sensory properties. Lipid source significantly influenced meltability, oil separation, fatty acid composition, nutritional lipid indices, and sensory acceptability. Flaxseed oil markedly improved the lipid profile by reducing saturated fatty acids from 65.06% in the control to 14.98% and increasing unsaturated fatty acids to 85.02%, which reduced the atherogenic and thrombogenic indices from 2.14 to 2.87 to 0.13, respectively. However, this improvement was accompanied by greater oil separation and lower sensory scores, indicating reduced emulsion and sensory stability. Butter and sunflower oil formulations showed the highest sensory acceptability, with scores ranging from 8.1 to 8.9. Overall, the findings demonstrate that lipid selection strongly influences the balance between nutritional improvement, techno-functional stability, and consumer acceptability in spreadable processed cheese analogues.
