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

In this study, theaflavins (TF1, TF2A, TF2B and TF3) were prepared from black tea and their interaction with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was explored by fluorescence and CD spectroscopy. The results showed that the structures of theaflavins exhibited significant effects on the binding/quenching process, and the binding affinity increased with the increase of molecular weight of theaflavins and the presence of galloyl moiety. The quenching effects showed a sequence as TF3 > TF2A > TF2B > TF1, demonstrating the important role of the galloyl moiety on the C-3 position of theaflavins. CD spectra indicated that TF3 in high concentration could change the skeleton structure of BSA and induce the unfolding of BSA secondary structure. The present results provide a new perspective for better understanding of the likely physiological fate of theaflavins and help to control the functional characteristics of food.
