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

Fortifying traditional wheat-based products can diversify bakery applications and enhance the use of complementary grains in the food industry. Unlike common wheat, intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) is a perennial grain that is reported to have higher protein, fiber, and ash content. To maximize the use of IWG in bakery applications, this research investigates the functionality and nutritional quality of a variety of wheat-based flatbread, noodle, pasta, and cookies, with the incorporation of different degrees of wholemeal IWG. IWG at 25% incorporation for flatbread, 75% incorporation for noodle, 50% for pasta, and 50% for cookie formulations resulted in products with quality attributes comparable to the control formulations, indicating its potential to be used in specific product formulations. Incorporation of IWG resulted in decreased glucose release over time and increased protein digestibility. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This article contributes to the growing body of research identifying additional end use applications for IWG aside from bread formulations. IWG from the Canadian prairies has not been extensively studied and this work provides a comprehensive overview of the functional properties and composition of IWG grown in the region.
