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

Ultrafiltration (UF) technology has considerable potential for improving cheese yield and reducing whey discharge; however, its effects on microbial metabolism and flavor formation remain unclear. In this study, untargeted metabolomics, flavoromics, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing were integrated to evaluate metabolic and microbial variations in UF cheese. UF treatment was associated with marked changes in primary and secondary metabolite profiles, including increased levels of umami- and sweet-related amino acids. Differential metabolites were mainly enriched in pathways related to D-amino acid metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, and galactose metabolism. UF cheese also exhibited higher levels of key aroma compounds, particularly 2-pentanone, δ-octalactone, and benzyl alcohol, which were associated with fruity and creamy odor descriptors. Correlation analysis suggested that
