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
This study aimed to compare microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) with conventional extraction methods regarding the physicochemical, techno-functional, molecular, and thermal properties of chickpea aquafaba. The potential of microwave-extracted aquafaba (MAEA) as an egg white replacer in vegan meringue production was also evaluated. The results indicated that while MAE reduced extraction yield and foam stability, it enhanced protein content, density, dry matter, and foaming ability compared to conventionally extracted aquafaba (CEA). X-ray diffraction revealed a reduction in protein crystal size, and FT-IR analysis confirmed the absence of harmful compounds in MAEA. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) identified key thermal degradation points. Substituting egg whites with aquafaba affected batter properties and meringue characteristics, but sensory evaluation showed no significant differences. Meringue with 50 % aquafaba substitution had the highest quality score, suggesting that this replacement offers economic and environmental benefits while meeting consumer preferences.
