Aggregation of konjac glucomannan by ethanol under low-alkali treatment.
Article in Food chemistry: X, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Utilizing ethanol in konjac glucomannan (KGM) gelation has important food processing applications. Typically, ethanol positively impacts the formation of low-alkali KGM gels and dramatically changes their physical properties, but the role of ethanol on the aggregation of KGM chains and the resultant gelation is less well understood. This study presents the distinct microstructures of low-alkali KGM gels incorporating ethanol. The fibril diameter and mesh size were determined to be 262.3 ± 22.3 nm and 2.680 ± 0.035 μm in average, contributing to a higher degree of anisotropy of such a gel network. Ethanol favors intermolecular aggregation by increasing the
