Noncovalent Interaction of Lactoferrin with Epicatechin and Epigallocatechin: Focus on Fluorescence Quenching and Antioxidant Properties.
Article in ACS omega, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Lactoferrin (LF) from bovine milk possesses antioxidant activity, immune regulatory and other biological activities. However, the effects of epicatechin (EC) and epigallocatechin (EGC) interacting with LF on the antioxidant activity of LF have not been investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to explore their interaction mechanism and the antioxidant activity of LF. UV spectra revealed that EGC (100 μM) induced a higher blue shift of LF at the maximum absorption wavelength than that of EC (100 μM). Fluorescence spectra results suggested that LF fluorescence was quenched by EC and EGC in the static type, which changed the polarity of the microenvironment around LF. The quenching constants
