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

Whey protein isolates (WPI) were treated with different ethanol level (20, 40, 60, and 80%, v/v) to promote structural unfolding and subsequent aggregation. In general, protein aggregation gradually increased with increasing ethanol level in a dose-dependent manner, which was implied by notably increased turbidity and gradually decreased solubility. The formation of aggregates, which were confirmed by the results of circular dichroism spectrum and total sulfhydryl content, were promoted mainly through disulfide bonds and intra-molecular hydrogen bonds. Moreover, ethanol treated WPI (E-WPI) had significantly enhanced antioxidant activities over native WPI, which was mainly attribute to the higher contents of specific amino acids (such as hydrophobic amino acids, aromatic amino acids, and sulfur-containing amino acids), and E-WPI prepared with moderate ethanol concentration (40% in our present study) exhibited the highest antioxidant activities. These results reveal that antioxidant activities of WPI can be increased by ethanol treatment and are possibly achieved through molecular unfolding of native WPI.
