Glycation of Whey Proteins Increases the Ex Vivo Immune Response of Lymphocytes Sensitized to β-Lactoglobulin.
Article in Nutrients, 2023. 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
Glycation is a spontaneous reaction accompanying the thermal processing and storage of food. It can lead to changes in the allergenic and immunogenic potential of protein. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the glycation of α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) on the ex vivo response of β-lg sensitized lymphocytes. C57BL/6 mice were immunized intragastrically (i-g) or intraperitoneally (i-p) with β-lg. The humoral response of the groups differed only with respect to the IgE level of the i-p group. Cellular response was studied after stimulation with antigen variants. The lymphocytes from the i-g/group mesenteric lymph nodes, stimulated with β-lg before and after glycation, presented a higher percentage of CD4 and CD8 T cells compared to the i-p/group. The cytokine profile of the i-p/group splenocytes stimulated with antigens showed elevated levels of pro-inflammatory IL-17A regardless of protein modification. In conclusion, the ex vivo model proved that the glycation process does not reduce protein immunogenicity.
