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

Hydrophobic alginic acid derivatives were synthesized with various aliphatic hydrocarbon chains for fat removal in an analysis of multi-pesticide residues in a fatty food sample. First, alginic acid was chemically modified using eco-friendly ultrasound-assisted esterification with different alcohols, namely, hydrophobic alginic acid-methanol (HAA-C1), hydrophobic alginic acid-butanol (HAA-C4), and hydrophobic alginic acid-octadecanol (HAA-C18). The degree of esterification (DE) was determined by titration, and the results ranged from 57.3% to 63.7%. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized hydrophobic alginic acids (HAAs) were studied using FT-IR, XRD, TGA, and FE-SEM. Subsequently, the performance of the HAAs was checked and evaluated for the removal of fat from a fatty food sample by calculating the fat removal percentage and the determination of 214 pesticide residues in the fatty food sample. For the fat removal percentage application, the HAAs were able to efficiently remove between 77% and 83% of the fat; HAA-C18 had the highest percentage. Regarding the pesticide residue application, HAAs were also able to remove the fat content from the fatty food sample without a significant effect on the pesticide substances. The recoveries of the detected pesticide compounds were between 80% and 120% for all HAAs. However, there were various missing pesticide compounds for HAAs. The number of missing pesticide compounds was 19, 6, and 33 for HAA-C1, HAA-C4, and HAA-C18, respectively. HAA-C4 had medium hydrophobicity and it lost fewer pesticides than the other HAAs. This was because the multi-pesticide mixture had various classes of chemical structure; hence, it had different polarity powers. We concluded that HAAs are developable and applicable to be safely used as a green material in diverse fatty food sample analysis applications.
