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

Roasted carob pulp is known for its faint cocoa-like flavor. Although it exhibits potential as a cocoa replacer, its cocoa-like aroma and bitter taste are weaker than those of conventional cocoa. To shrink this flavor gap, the present study detailed a novel approach of tapping on crude protein hydrolysates for the accentuation of these flavor attributes in dark chocolates. A comparison between protease types (Flavourzyme and Neutrase) and protein substrates (whey, pea, soy, wheat, and endogenous carob pulp protein) revealed that soy protein hydrolysates derived from Flavourzyme treatment contained the highest branched-chain amino acids (BCAA; 68.82 mg/g) and short-chain peptide content (3.04 × 10
