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

A homogeneous egg white obtained by high-speed shearing and centrifugation was dehydrated into a fragile and water-soluble egg white glass (EWG) by unidirectional nanopore dehydration (UND). After EWG annealing, it can become an egg white hydrogel membrane (EWHM) that is water-insoluble, flexible, biocompatible, and mechanically robust. Its tensile strength, elongation at break, and the swelling ratio are about 5.84 MPa, 50-110%, and 60-130%, respectively. Protein structure analysis showed that UND caused the rearrangement of the protein molecules to form EWG with random coil and α-helix structures. The thermal decomposition temperature of the EWG was 309.25 °C. After EWG annealing at over 100 or 110 °C for 1.0 h or 45 min, the porous network EWHM was mainly composed of β-sheet structures, and the thermal decomposition temperature increased to 317.25-318.43 °C. Their 12-day residues in five proteases ranged from 1% to 99%, and the order was pepsin > neutral protease > papain > trypsin > alkaline protease. Mouse fibroblast L929 cells can adhere, grow, and proliferate well on these EWHMs. Therefore, the combined technology of UND and annealing for green and novel processing of EWHM has potential applications in the field of biomimetic and biomedical materials.
