Structural and functional properties of beeswax-taro starch-based bigels: effect of the oleogel:hydrogel ratio.

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.
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
Bigels are biphasic systems combining oleogel (OG) and hydrogel (HG) networks with unique structural and functional properties. This study evaluated the effect of OG:HG ratios on the physicochemical, functional, textural, colorimetric, and structural properties of bigels formulated with κ-carrageenan (2%) and taro starch (10%) as HG, and canola oil (90%) with beeswax (10%) as OG. Three formulations were prepared: 25:75 (BG1), 50:50 (BG2), and 75:25 (BG3). All bigels showed high oil retention (> 90%) and no phase separation. Microscopy revealed structural phase types: O/W (BG1), bicontinuous (BG2), and W/O (BG3). Swelling capacity and moisture content decreased with increasing OG, while color parameter Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10068-025-01961-5.
