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

Reducing residual sugars in kombucha while preserving fermentation performance and consumer acceptance remains a key technological challenge. This study evaluated the effect of partially replacing sucrose with agavins of different degrees of polymerization (DPs) on the physicochemical, technofunctional, and functional properties of kombucha formulated from mulberry coproducts. Formulations were prepared using low DP (LDP), medium DP (MDP), and high DP (HDP) agavins at different substitution levels under controlled fermentation conditions. Beverages were characterized in terms of physicochemical parameters, apparent viscosity, antioxidant capacity, short-chain fatty acids, and enzyme inhibition. Phenolic profiles were analyzed by LC-MS/MS and interpreted using multivariate approaches (PLS-DA and PCA). Partial sucrose replacement with LDP agavins at 5% (LDP5%) resulted in a balanced formulation combining enhanced apparent viscosity (0.324 ± 0.008 MPa·s), stable antioxidant capacity across assays, and high sensory acceptability. Microbial populations remained within typical ranges for kombucha fermentation (10
