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

Freezing and thawing significantly affect the texture and flavor of glutinous rice-based desserts like Daifuku. This study investigated the impact of magnetic field-assisted thawing (MFT) on Daifuku quality, comparing it with conventional refrigerated thawing (RFT) under identical freezing conditions. Daifuku samples were frozen at -20 °C in a pulsed magnetic field (6 mT, 0.8 Hz) and thawed at 5 °C under various MFT conditions (static and pulsed fields). Results showed that MFT, particularly at 4 mT and 0.6 Hz, shortened thawing time by 18.6%, preserved texture and aroma. MFT inhibited ice recrystallization, maintained starch-protein network integrity, improved water distribution by limiting bound water migration and promoted uniform pore distribution. Compared to RFT, MFT-treated samples exhibited 80% reduced chewiness, 18% increased resilience and improved viscoelastic properties. Sensory evaluation revealed that MFT-treated samples resembled fresh Daifuku. These findings confirm MFT as an effective and economical thawing strategy for glutinous rice products.
