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

Gelling carrageenans are polysaccharides extracted from the Gigartinales order of red algae. These are additives used essentially in the food industry for texturizing, stabilizing or gelling various formulations. Although a consensual gel mechanism has been reached which encompasses a coil-to-helix transition followed by the self-assembling of helices in a network, the structure-elastic relationships in the network are still to be clearly established. This paper reviews the reports in which carrageenan gel structures have been systematically compared with gel elastic properties. The focus is on the sizes documented for structural units, such as strands, aggregates, voids or network meshes, as well as on the reported linear and nonlinear elastic characteristics. The insufficient rationalization of carrageenan gel elasticity by models which take on board mechanically relevant structural features is underlined. After introducing selected linear and nonlinear elastic models, preliminary results comparing such models to structural and rheological data are presented. In particular, the concentration scaling of the strain hardening exhibited by two types of carrageenan gels is discussed.
