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

Polyphenol conjugation has emerged as a promising approach to enhance the technological properties and physiological benefits of food proteins. This study investigated the effects of polyphenol conjugation on the technological properties, antioxidant capacity, and in vitro digestibility of chicken breast (CB) proteins. Conjugation with (-)-epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) and tannic acid (TA) significantly reduced sulfhydryl content. EGCG conjugates exhibited higher turbidity and greater molecular weight aggregates (>245 kDa). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed alterations in protein secondary structures, with shifts in amide I and II bands. Polyphenol conjugation significantly enhanced the water-holding capacity of chicken muscle proteins, particularly for CB-TA (3.29 g/g) and CB-EGCG (3.13 g/g) compared to the control (2.25 g/g). The emulsion stability index improved notably in CB-EGCG (96.23 min) and CB-TA (87.24 min) compared to the control (69.05 min). Color analysis revealed darker and more intense hues for CB-EGCG, while CB-TA maintained a lighter appearance, making it potentially preferable for industrial applications requiring neutral-colored powders. Moreover, polyphenol conjugation could enhance antioxidant capacity, particularly in conjugates with EGCG (
