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 consumption and availability of plant-based dairy and milk alternatives are increasing. These products can contain chemical and microbiological hazards, which are not prevalent in animal-based foods. On the other hand, the occurrence of foodborne hazards such as contaminants or pathogens found in animal-based foods can also be lower in plant-based alternatives. Currently, the European legislation has few limits to foodborne hazards in dairy and milk alternatives. This review aims to present the relevant chemical and microbiological foodborne hazards in different types of dairy and meat alternatives, discuss their potential for health risk to consumers and risk management options. Nutritional aspects are discussed briefly from the point of view of consumers' health.
