"Rigid" structure is a key determinant for the low digestibility of myoglobin.

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
Myoglobin, a critical protein responsible for meat color, has been shown insusceptible to digestion. The underlying mechanism is not clear. The present study aimed to evaluate whether the structural properties of myoglobin are associated with its insusceptibility to digestion using spectroscopic and computational techniques. Myoglobin was degraded by only 7.03% by pepsin and 33.00% by pancreatin. The structure of myoglobin still maintained α-helix after the two-step digestion, with the exposure of some aromatic residues. In addition, molecular dynamics modeling suggested that hydrophobic amino acid residues (Phe 111, Leu 10, Ala 115, Pro 116) in pepsin and polar amino acid residues (Tyr 146, Thr 95) in myoglobin were found in the proximity of binding sites, which could result in the low digestibility of myoglobin. Our findings provide a new insight into the underlying mechanisms on the difficulty in digestion of myoglobin.
