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 morphological characteristics of cold plasma (CP)-induced ovalbumin (OVA) amyloid fibrils (OAFs) and their ability to stabilize astaxanthin-loaded high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) were investigated. The results indicated that CP treatment significantly accelerated OVA fibrillization by inducing its globular structure unfolding and polypeptide cleavage, leading to the rapid formation of short, worm-like fibrils within 10 min of fibrillation. Compared to untreated OVA, which had a diameter of 18.65 ± 6.47 nm, the length of OVA worm-like fibrils progressively increased from 69.17 ± 23.84 nm (10 min) to 114.94 ± 38.04 nm (8 h) before decreasing to 92.24 ± 36.22 nm (24 h). The ability of OVA to stabilize HIPEs was significantly improved following fibrillation. Notably, the shorter fibrils of OAFs-10 min and OAFs-24 h exhibited superior stability in HIPEs compared to the longer fibril of OAFs-8 h. The reason may be ascribed to the robust interface adsorption ability of OAFs-10 min and OAFs-24 h with shorter length, generating a dense and thick interfacial layer in the oil/water emulsion (maximum 11.57 ± 1.98 %), as confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) imaging and interface protein adsorption analysis (maximum 31.61 ± 2.49 %), thereby preventing droplet coalescence. Additionally, HIPEs stabilized by OAFs-10 min exhibited a higher oil fraction (82.5 %), superior ionic (1200 mM) and thermal stability (100 °C), and greater astaxanthin retention (91.55 ± 1.97 %, 1200 mM) compared to those stabilized by other OAFs. Meanwhile, HIPEs stabilized by OAFs-24 h exhibited enhanced stability under freeze-thaw cycles and centrifugation, with centrifugal stability constant (Ke) of 16.18 ± 4.78 %.
