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 purpose of this paper is to evaluate the nutritional, functional, and technological potential of whey resulting as a by-product in the dairy industry, as such or mixed with berries (blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries) to obtain healthy jellies with added value. In this regard, the following parameters were analyzed: protein content, total amino acids, total mineral substances, macro- and microelements, antioxidant capacity, and total polyphenols. Also, the storage stability, textural and color parameters, FTIR spectra, and microstructures of jellies were analyzed. The results obtained showed that the protein content ranged from 4.18% to 4.51%, with a general increase observed in the variants with added whey and berries. Regarding total mineral substances, a significant increase was noted in jellies with added whey (0.34%) and strawberries (0.35%), compared to the control (0.15%). Whey jellies presented the highest levels of K, Ca, Mg, Zn, and Fe, while samples with added fruits completed the microelement (Mn, Cu, Ni, and Cr) content. The storage stability at 4 °C and the evolution of pH and acidity confirm that the products maintain their structure, while when stored at ambient temperature an acceleration of the decrease in pH and an increase in acidity are observed after 14 days. The jellies with combined additions (whey and berries) presented the most favorable microstructure, which supports the use of synergistic functional ingredients in the development of innovative products with high nutritional and sensory value. The FTIR spectra reflect the composition of the ingredients used. Based on obtained results, it can be concluded that whey represents a versatile and sustainable resource for obtaining functional jellies, offering both nutritional benefits and favorable economic and ecological perspectives.
