Functionalization of Alpha-Lactalbumin by Zinc Ions.
Article in ACS omega, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Alpha-lactalbumin (α-LA) and binding of zinc cations to protein were studied. Molecular characteristics of protein was determined by MALDI-TOF/MS and electrophoresis SDS-PAGE, and also, for complexes, it was determined by spectroscopic techniques (ATR-FT-IR and Raman) and microscopic techniques (SEM along with an EDX detector and also TEM). The pH dependence of zeta potential of α-LA was determined in saline solution. The zinc binding to the protein mechanism was investigated; zinc binding to protein kinetics, the molecular modeling by the DFT method, and electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) for microstructure observation were performed. The experiments performed indicate a quick binding process (equilibrium takes place after 2 min of incubation) which occurs onto the surface of α-LA. Zinc cations change the conformation of the protein and create spherical particles from the morphological point of view. DFT studies indicate the participation of acidic functional groups of the protein (aspartic acid and glutamic acid residues), and these have a decisive influence on the interaction with zinc cations. Application studies of general toxicity and cytotoxicity and bioavailability were conducted.
