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
In this study, complexes of pregelatinized Chinese yam starch with ferulic acid (PCYS+FA) were prepared using a boiling water bath, with varying levels of Chinese yam starch (CYS) and ferulic acid (FA). The investigation focused on the effects of FA addition (3%, 9%, and 15%) on the physicochemical properties and structure of PCYS+FA complexes. The solubility, swelling, and water-holding capacity of PCYS+FA were compared with those of CYS, with the solubility and swelling showing a gradual enhancement with increasing FA content. The incorporation of FA reduced the thermal stability of CYS, decreasing the initial degradation temperature from 245.94 °C (CYS) to 228.17 °C (PCYS+15%FA). Infrared spectroscopy revealed that CYS and FA were bound through non-covalent intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Furthermore, X-ray diffractograms showed that FA and CYS formed a V-type complex, in which the crystallinity of PCYS reached a minimum of 3.72%, and the degree of molecular ordering was reduced. Scanning electron microscopy analysis demonstrated that FA adhered to the surface of starch granules, resulting in the formation of pores that facilitated the entry of FA molecules into the internal crystal region of starch, allowing them to interact with starch molecules.
