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

This study aimed to encapsulate bioactive peptides derived from Sargassum angustifolium protein isolate within calcium alginate and chia seed gum matrices using freeze-drying. The encapsulated microbeads and microcapsules were evaluated based on encapsulation efficiency (EE), surface charge (zeta potential), microstructure, chemical composition, and thermal properties. Results indicated that Alg-SAPH exhibited a higher EE compared to CSG-SAPH. Alg-SAPH microbeads displayed a more negative zeta potential than CSG-SAPH microcapsules, suggesting enhanced electrostatic stability. Structural analysis revealed that Alg-SAPH formed interconnected microbead chains, whereas CSG-SAPH demonstrated a shell-like morphology. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis showed that Alg-SAPH had a lower melting point compared to CSG-SAPH, whereas its transition enthalpy was significantly higher. The findings suggest that encapsulating SAPH within biopolymeric carriers enhances its stability and bioavailability, offering a promising approach for incorporating bioactive peptides into functional foods and therapeutic applications while masking their undesirable taste.
