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

The process of extracting virgin coconut oil (VCO) by centrifugal method utilizing coconut milk as raw material produces two main by-products of aqueous and solid phases which contain a certain amount of proteins. In this study, the structural and techno-functional characteristics of aqueous-phase proteins (APP) and solid-phase proteins (SPP) are analyzed and compared. Results show that glutamic acid was the most abundant amino acid in both APP and SPP, accounting for 21.2 % and 18.1 % of the total amino acid content, respectively. APP has a higher level of disorder structure and a lower proportion of essential amino acids (33.8 %), and it's solubility, foaming capability, and emulsifying stability are better than that of SPP. Conversely, SPP possesses better water holding capability (2.38 g/g). These can provide a theoretical basis for the development of a new method that can convert this underutilized protein into a food ingredient with higher value.
