The Formation of Protein-Chitosan Complexes: Their Interaction, Applications, and Challenges.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Protein-polysaccharide interactions have been a subject of considerable interest in the field of food science. Chitosan is the most prominent and naturally occurring polysaccharide with a positive charge, and its hydroxyl and amino groups facilitate protein-chitosan interactions due to their diverse biochemical activities. The complexation of chitosan enables the modification of proteins, thereby enhancing their value for applications in the food and nutrition industry. This paper presents a summary of the complexes formed by chitosan and different proteins, such as lactoglobulin, egg white protein, soybean isolate protein, whey isolate protein, and myofibrillar protein, and systematically describes the modes of interaction between proteins and chitosan. The effects of protein-chitosan interactions on functional properties such as solubility, emulsification, antioxidant activity, and stability are outlined, and the potential applications of protein-chitosan complexes are discussed. In addition, the current challenges associated with the formation of protein-chitosan complexes and potential solutions to these challenges are highlighted. This paper provides an overview of the current research progress on the interaction of proteins with chitosan and its derivatives in the food industry.
