Assessment of the quality attributes and oxidative stability of fish balls with the addition of fig powder during frozen storage.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
This study evaluated the oxidative stability and physicochemical attributes of fish balls made from Pangasius pangasius (Pangus) by the addition of natural antioxidant Ficus carica (Fig fruit) and other synthetic antioxidants, Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and Ascorbic Acid (AA), and the fish balls were stored under freezing conditions for two months. Four different types of fish balls were made with or without antioxidants: 1) T0 (without antioxidants); 2) T1 (0.02% BHT); 3) T2 (0.05% AA); 4) T3 (1% fig powder). Incorporating antioxidants significantly retained (p < 0.05) lower TBARS, pH, and yellowness while holding higher DPPH and redness values throughout storage. The addition of fig powder (FP) significantly (p < 0.05) reduced oxidation, free radical scavenging activity, and pH values. The fig's antioxidant potential was non-significantly (p > 0.05) different from BHT and AA. Moreover, the fig retained a significantly higher moisture content (p < 0.05), essential for maintaining fish ball quality. Furthermore, the cooking loss increased non-significantly (p > 0.05) among treated samples due to lower moisture and fat loss. Sensory assessment regarding color values of all treated and non-treated samples, FP showed a significantly (p < 0.05) higher redness value and a significantly (p < 0.05) lower yellowness when compared to control samples throughout the storage period. Therefore, adding FP as a natural antioxidant could reduce oxidation and maintain the others physicochemical characteristics of fish balls under freezing conditions.
