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

The valorization of plant-based press cakes as sustainable food ingredients requires understanding how formulation and processing affect their properties. This study investigated mixed formulations of hemp press cakes and oat press cakes subjected to pasteurization and lactic acid fermentation using a single independently prepared batch per formulation × treatment condition. A multi-analytical approach was applied, including protein solubility, SDS-PAGE, particle size analysis, evaluation of amino acids and biogenic amines, protein oxidation, phytic acid content, and techno-functional properties (water- and oil-holding capacities). The relative importance of formulation and processing was parameter-dependent. Formulation was the main source of variation in total amino acid composition, phytic acid levels, biogenic amine accumulation, and protein solubility under multi-bond disruption conditions. Processing was associated with protein aggregation, confirmed by SDS-PAGE and particle size increases, whereas fermentation was associated with partial solubility restoration, possibly through pH-mediated changes and structural rearrangements. Nutritional parameters showed formulation-processing interactions, affecting amino acid release, biogenic amine formation, protein oxidation and phytic acid levels, with the latter two remaining relatively high across all conditions. Water-holding capacity varied mainly with formulation, while oil-holding capacity varied with both factors and showed strong interaction patterns. Among the formulations studied, the 75:25 hemp-to-oat ratio represented the most balanced option, offering nutritional and functional improvements over pure hemp press cakes without substantially compromising protein content. Overall, these findings suggest that hemp-oat press cake matrices behave as interaction-sensitive materials and that combined formulation and fermentation strategies may be used to tailor functional and nutritional properties for food applications.
