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

Muscle-protein modification plays a critical role in determining the quality, functional properties, and nutritional value of meat and aquatic products. Over recent decades, non-thermal processing technologies including irradiation, cold plasma, high-pressure processing, ultrasound, and electromagnetic fields have been widely explored in muscle foods. This review aims to critically examine modifications of food proteins subjected to non-thermal processing, with a focus on literature within the last five years. The review first introduces the type and theory of physicochemical modifications of food proteins, which includes protein oxidation, changes in net charge, cross-linking and aggregation. Subsequently, characterization methods applicable to food proteins are briefly discussed. Finally, the effects of non-thermal processing on muscle proteins are thoroughly discussed. This review will elucidate the intricate mechanisms of protein modification in muscle-based products, providing a theoretical framework to drive the advancement of innovative non-thermal processing technologies.
