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 demand for innovative plant-based probiotic beverages is growing rapidly. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a novel kefir beverage using two types of sesame milk: permeate-based sesame milk (PSM) and water-based sesame milk (WSM). Chemical, physical, microbial, and sensory properties of kefir were assessed. The total solids content (protein, fat, carbohydrates, and ash) in fresh kefir was 12.68, 13.31, and 16.38% for cow milk kefir (CMK), WSM kefir (WSMK), and PSM kefir (PSMK), respectively, and increased slightly after 14 days of storage, reaching 13.18, 13.53, and 16.56%. The fresh PSMK exhibited notable mineral content, containing (mg/100 g) 258.23 Ca, 137.14 P, 70.24 K, and smaller amounts of Na, Mg, Cu, Fe, Zn, and Mn, along with 5.18 μg/100 g of Se. In terms of volatile compounds, PSMK had the highest acetaldehyde concentration (7.48 mg/L), followed by CMK (4.91 mg/L) and WSMK (4.44 mg/L). Ethanol levels were the highest in fresh WSMK (0.129%). The viscosity and color attributes of PSMK were closely aligned with those of CMK, with the viscosity increasing over time to 1.53, 1.40, and 1.57 cP for PSMK, WSMK, and CMK, respectively. All kefir types supported viable probiotic populations, with PSMK demonstrating superior
