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

Phenols are natural compounds with considerable bioactivities. However, the low bioavailability and chemical instability of phenols limit their biological functions. This review summarizes recent progress in phenol delivery systems that account for the specific physiological conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. It focuses on the delivery materials for intestinal targeting and the synergistic benefits of co-encapsulating phenols with other functional ingredients. To achieve targeted release of phenols in the digestive tract, factors such as pH, digestive enzymes, and gut microbiota should be fully considered in delivery system designing. Materials like chitosan, sodium alginate, pectin, and guar gum offer effective protection and targeted delivery of phenols due to their pH sensitivity and enzyme-degradable properties. Co-delivery systems that combine phenols with carotenoids or probiotics improve the functional properties of phenols, such as antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory effect, and regulation of gut microbiota. Probiotics can enhance phenolic compound absorption and probiotic survival in a phenolic-probiotic co-encapsulation system through debonding, bioconversion, and synergistic effects.
