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

This work investigates the oxidative stability of vitamin A encapsulated in oil-in-water emulsions, which were prepared by using a microfluidizer. All emulsions were prepared with a fixed content of vitamin A (525 µM), corn oil (10%), water (90%), and whey protein (2%), but varying two main factors: the microfluidizer pressure (10, 50, 100, 200 MPa) and the amount of α-tocopherol (0, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00 mg/g). The content of vitamin A before and after the microfluidization process, and during the subsequent five weeks of storage at 40 °C were determined by HPLC-DAD. The results of the analysis of variance performed either on the data obtained before and after the microfluidization process or during the storage showed that the highest stability of vitamin A was obtained with the highest content of α-tocopherol and with an applied pressure between 100 and 200 MPa. The highest stability was explained by the smaller particle size of the resulting oil droplets. However, high pressures (200 MPa) showed a negative effect on vitamin A retention. These results could be useful for future formulations of retinoids.
