Partial Fat Substitution in Butter Cookies Using Thermochemically Modified Unripe Plantain (Musa paradisiaca AAB) Flour Treated with Fumaric Acid.
Article in Plant foods for human nutrition (Dordrecht, Netherlands), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 evaluated thermochemically modified unripe plantain flour treated with fumaric acid as a fat substitute in butter cookies. Incorporating this modified flour with a 24.73% fat reduction increased sensory acceptability by 65% compared with native unripe plantain flour. Fat reduction caused changes in mass loss during baking and porous structure while maintaining stable ash and protein contents and a higher proportion of nondigestible carbohydrates. Enzymatic hydrolysis analysis confirmed higher resistant starch content and lower proportions of rapidly and slowly digestible starch than in the control cookies. Thermochemically modified unripe plantain flour treated with fumaric acid proved to be a promising alternative for developing reduced-fat butter cookies by improving sensory acceptability, textural properties (increased crispness), and functional potential through reduced product digestibility. Reduced-fat cookies exhibited greater firmness and crispness but also greater browning intensity.
