Enhancing the Nutritional Composition and Phenolic Compound Content of Sprouted Chickpeas Using Sucrose and Chitosan as Elicitors.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The use of elicitors during germination is a strategy to enhance the nutritional quality and biofunctional properties of various legumes, such as chickpeas, which are important sources of proteins and bioactive compounds. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the use of chitosan (CH) and sucrose (SU) during sprouting on protein content, in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD), total phenolic content (TPC), and antioxidant activity (AOX). For this purpose, soaking time, elicitor concentration (CH or SU), and sprouting time were optimized to obtain maximum values for the response variables. The results showed that the optimal conditions for achieving increases in nutritional and biofunctional properties were 1 h of soaking, 0.35%
