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
This study compared apricot, walnut, and hazelnut kernel proteins (AKP, WKP, HKP) to whey protein concentrate (WPC) for stabilizing pomegranate seed oil-in-water emulsions before and after spray-drying. AKP demonstrated the most favorable emulsification properties, yielding an emulsion with a particle size of 262 nm, a PDI of 0.43, and a zeta potential of - 25 mV. Oil-in-water emulsions stabilized with AKP and WPC exhibited the highest solubility (62-66%), emulsifying activity (74-85 m2/g), emulsion stability (71-76%), foaming capacity (88-108%) and foaming stability (59-66%). The type of protein carrier significantly influenced the spray-dried emulsion's production yield, physicochemical properties, techno-functional characteristics, flowability, hygroscopicity, color, and particle size. The highest (60-62%) and lowest (41-44%) production yields were obtained for the samples produced with WPC/AKP and HKP/WKP, respectively. Encapsulation efficiency followed the order: WPC (85.9%) > AKP (82.2%) > HKP (75.4%) > WKP (70.0%). Peroxide values of spray-dried emulsions increased with storage temperature from 4 to 25 °C, with WKP and WPC exhibiting the highest and lowest oxidation, respectively. FT-IR analysis confirmed oil encapsulation within the carrier matrix. AKP shows promise as a plant-based alternative to WPC for emulsion stabilization and encapsulation of lipophilic bioactive compounds.
