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 use of natural waxes to create edible structured oil systems, namely oleogels and bigels, represents an innovative approach to replacing trans and saturated fats in food products, offering healthier alternatives for the food industry. This review aims to provide a detailed overview of the utilization of natural waxes in the formulation of oleogels and bigels, their interactions with other ingredients, and the methods employed to assess their physicochemical properties. A comprehensive analysis is also presented on the impact of processing parameters on the physicochemical and structural characteristics of these systems, as well as their oxidative stability. Additionally, the application of structured oil systems in various food products, including spreads, dairy, and meat products, is explored, along with a discussion of the attributes of the final products.
