From Fatty Acid Precursors to Off-Odor in Canned Antarctic Krill: Matrix-Dependent Odorant Expression Under Retort Sterilization Conditions.

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
Off-odor development during retort sterilization limits the sensory quality of canned Antarctic krill, but measurements in whole krill cannot distinguish intrinsic fatty acid oxidation from matrix-dependent odor expression. To separate these effects, six major fatty acids (C14:0, C16:0, C16:1, C18:1, eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA], and docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]) were examined in a three-tier thermal oxidation model comprising fatty acid-only, lipid-depleted krill matrix, and complete krill meat systems heated at 115 °C for 36 min. Volatile profiles were characterized by gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) and headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS), together with peroxide value (POV), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), odor activity values (OAVs), sensory evaluation, and exploratory cross-tier correlation analysis. In the fatty acid-only model, EPA and DHA showed the highest POVs (5.26 ± 0.53 and 4.96 ± 0.57 meq/kg), whereas C16:1 and C18:1 produced broader volatile profiles. After matrix incorporation, these patterns changed: C18:1 supplementation was associated with a pronounced aldehydic profile, whereas DHA- and EPA-supplemented complete krill meat showed the highest TBARS values (3.37 ± 0.40 and 3.12 ± 0.37 mg MDA/kg) and high fishy odor scores (6.21 and 5.95). Total OAV was not significantly associated with fishy or oxidized odor, whereas (Z)-4-heptenal, (Z)-1,5-octadien-3-ol, 1-penten-3-ol, and trimethylamine showed closer sensory associations. Thus, intrinsic oxidation potential did not directly predict off-odor intensity; sensory deterioration was more closely related to the matrix-dependent expression of selected potentially odor-active compounds than to fatty acid unsaturation or total OAV.
