Effect of Irradiation on Structural Changes of Levan.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Levan, as a biocompatible and renewable biopolymer with anticancer properties, is a promising candidate for a wide range of applications in various fields of industry. However, in the literature, there is a lack of information about its behavior under the influence of UV irradiation, which may limit its potential application, including medical science. Therefore, this study describes the effects of irradiation on the structural properties of levan. This type of fructan was subjected to stability tests under radiation conditions using LED and polychromatic lamps. The results showed that the photodegradation of levan irradiated with a polychromatic light occurs faster and more efficiently than the photodegradation of levan irradiated with an LED lamp. Furthermore, AFM analysis showed that the surface became smoother after irradiation, as evidenced by decreasing values of roughness parameters. Moreover, UV irradiation causes the decrease of total surface free energy and both its components in levan; however, more significant changes occur during irradiation of the sample with a polychromatic lamp.
