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

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widely used in food fermentation for their metabolic versatility and probiotic potential. Understanding their growth kinetics and metabolic behavior under controlled conditions is critical for process optimization. This study evaluated the fermentation performance and kinetic behavior of four LAB strains (Lact. paracasei CWKu14, Lact. rhamnosus CWKu-12, Lact. casei CWM15, and Lact. plantarum CWJ3) in tender coconut water (TCW) over 24 h. Changes in cell viability, pH, total soluble solids (TSS), sugar utilization, and organic acid production were monitored and analyzed using selected mathematical models. As cell density increased, all strains significantly reduced the pH and TSS of TCW. These changes were strain-specific; Lact. plantarum CWJ3 exhibited the highest cell viability (3.48 × 10
