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

Emulsions, as thermodynamically unstable systems with multiscale and multiphase structures, naturally destabilize over time. Their stability plays a vital role in industries like food, cosmetics, and chemical materials. For emulsion-based foods, stability is essential to preserve their nutritional value, texture, appearance, and flavor. Enhancing emulsion stability during transportation, storage, and use not only extends shelf life but also boosts market reliability and consumer trust. This review explores emulsion destabilization mechanisms, evaluates the influencing factors, and discusses strategies to assess and enhance stability. The text outlines key emulsion stabilization methods, focusing on recent progress in emulsifier development, including Pickering particles. This review highlights the application of proteins, polysaccharides, polyphenols, and their complexes as emulsifiers in stabilizing food emulsions. It also explores their potential to enhance product performance while addressing consumer demand and sustainability goals.
