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

Acacia is an Australian-Aboriginal underutilized legume that contains high protein content (18%-35%). However, the commercial use of the seed's protein is limited due to minimum protein yield and low techno-functional properties. This research investigated the effect of ultrasound on protein yield and functionality of concentrated proteins from the seeds of two Acacia species (Acacia microbotrya and Acacia cyclops) and compared them to soybeans. Proteins were extracted from Acacia species and soybeans employing both ultrasound-assisted extraction and extraction without ultrasound, followed by isoelectric precipitation. The protein yield, functional characteristics, and protein structure were evaluated and compared. The protein yield in ultrasound-treated samples increased by 10.92%, 6.3%, and 7.84% in all protein concentrates (A. cyclops, A. microbotrya, and soybean), with the highest yield conditions being 80 W, 20 kHz, and 20 min. The emulsifying activity index in ultrasound-treated soybean protein concentrate was 2.85 m
