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

Pumpkin seed proteins (PSPs) are a promising resource for obtaining bioactive peptides but their low solubility hinders enzymatic hydrolysis, reducing yield and bioactivity. In addition, enzymatic processes require specific conditions and long processing times; improving the efficiency of this process is essential to expand its industrial applications. In this context, using a high-frequency, low-intensity ultrasound (US) has proven to be an effective strategy for optimizing the hydrolysis of plant protein. This study evaluated the US-assisted (38 W/L, 40 kHz) and conventional hydrolysis of pumpkin seed proteins (PSPs) for 180 min at 25 °C, 40 °C, and at the optimum temperature condition for each enzyme studied (60 °C for Brauzyn
