Texture Profile Analysis in Practice: Applications and Limitations.
Review in Journal of texture studies, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Texture Profile Analysis (TPA) is a widely adopted method for assessing food textural attributes through a double compression test. Despite its broad application, inconsistencies in testing parameters such as strain level, test speed, and sample geometry impact the reliability and comparability of results across studies. Furthermore, TPA results are often misinterpreted for their textural meanings. This review aims to highlight the key parameters that must be carefully controlled to enhance the reliability of the method using agar-agar gels as a case study to illustrate how variations in these parameters influence outcomes. The findings underscore the importance of tailoring testing conditions to specific food types and objectives, alongside rigorous standardization and transparent reporting of methodological details. This review further highlights that TPA results should be interpreted comparatively rather than as absolute values. While TPA cannot fully replicate the complexity of oral texture sensation, it remains a valuable tool when users thoroughly understand its limitations and adjust key parameters to align with their experimental goals, particularly in industrial R&D purposes.
