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

With the continuous advancement of precision nutrition, researchers have increasingly recognized the need for tailored, stable delivery of food bioactive compounds, such as anthocyanins, in response to the varying conditions of the gastrointestinal (GI) environment. In this proof-of-concept study, we hypothesize that by modulating the number of pH-responsive -COOH groups in peptide gels, we can precisely control their pH responsiveness, rheological properties, and other physicochemical characteristics, enabling efficient anthocyanin delivery under diverse GI conditions. Our experiments demonstrate that increasing the number of -COOH groups and amino acids in the peptide sequence enhances the pH responsiveness, rheological properties, and stability of anthocyanin molecules within the gels, without compromising their biocompatibility or altering their release rate. These results validate our hypothesis and offer a customizable solution for meeting the diverse delivery needs of gastrointestinal environments. It may enrich the tools available for precise nutritional delivery, enhancing their bioavailability and therapeutic potential.
