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

This study investigated the quality stability of a ready-to-eat swordfish-based gourmet product, "swordfish caponata," during refrigerated storage (2-3 °C) for 15 days, with the goal of extending its current 10-day shelf life. Although spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms were initially present in the raw materials, their levels remained below detectable limits in the finished product throughout storage. Physicochemical parameters showed only minor changes in color (L* ≈ 49, a* ≈ 11, b* ≈ 24) and soluble solids concentration (≈20 °Brix). The pH rose slightly from 3.95 to 4.12, and titratable acidity increased from 1.00 to 2.00 mL NaOH/10 g. Water activity remained high (a
