New β-Carotene-Chitooligosaccharides Complexes for Food Fortification: Stability Study.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The application of β-carotene in food industry is limited due to its chemical instability. The drawback may be overcome by designing new delivery systems. The stability of β-carotene complexed with chitooligosaccharides by kneading, freeze-drying and sonication methods was investigated under various conditions. The first-order kinetics parameters of the reaction of β-carotene degradation were calculated. The complexation improved the stability of β-carotene at high temperatures and ensured its long-term stability in the dark at 4 °C and 24 °C, and in the light at 24 °C. In water solutions, the best characteristics were exhibited by the complexes prepared by freeze-drying and sonication methods. In the powder form, the complexes retained their colour for the period of the investigation of four months. The calculated total colour differences of the complexes were qualified as appreciable, detectable by ordinary people, but not large. Therefore, β-carotene-chitooligosaccharides complexes could be used as a new delivery system suitable for food fortification.
