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

Background: The conjugation of polyphenols to proteins provides a method for modifying the structure and properties of proteins. Methods: This study investigated the roles of ultrasound in the conjugation of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) with whey protein isolate (WPI) and its effects on the structural characteristics and properties. Results and discussion: The formation of EGCG-WPI conjugates (EW) resulted in a decrease in free amino groups and thiol groups in WPI, accompanied by an increase in size and thermal stability. Consequently, this conjugation inhibited the immunoglobulin E (IgE) binding capacity and improved the emulsifying properties of WPI. Furthermore, ultrasound facilitated the interaction by producing larger size of conjugates (U-EW), increasing the binding affinity from 5.8 × 10
