Synergistic tenderization and oxidative stabilization of cooked beef by combined fig latex and sodium phytate.

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
The effect of combination of fig latex and sodium phytate on the quality and shelf life of cooked beef leg muscles during refrigerated storage was tested. The greatest textural improvement was obtained with the combination of 20 g/kg fig latex and 200 mg/kg sodium phytate, decreasing shear force to 19.15 N compared to 42.05 N for 20 g/kg fig latex treatment. Lipid oxidation (TBARS) was reduced by 33.3% compared to untreated controls (0.24 ± 0.02 vs. 0.36 ± 0.02 μmol/g). These are caused by the proteolysis mediated by ficin and the metal-chelating antioxidant action of phytate. This natural approach effectively improves tenderness and reduces oxidative spoilage under the tested conditions, and maintains sensory acceptability over the 10-day refrigerated storage period without the use of synthetic additives; however, further microbiological evaluation and industrial-scale validation are required to confirm shelf-life extension.
