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 research investigated the impacts of various ultrasonic power (0, 150 W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W) treatments on chickpea protein isolate (CPI) and their ability to stabilize Pickering emulsions. Ultrasonication initially reduced particle size before causing subsequent increase, with the smallest nanoparticles (150.13 ± 0.94 nm) achieved at 450 W, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Structural characterization demonstrated that α-helix content initially increased then decreased, while β-sheet content showed the opposite trend. Similarly, absolute zeta potential values, intrinsic fluorescence intensity, and surface hydrophobicity all exhibited initial increases followed by subsequent decreases upon ultrasound treatment. At 450 W, nanoparticles improved emulsion stability, decreasing droplet size by 18.96 % and increasing absolute zeta potential to 50.53 ± 0.35 mV (p < 0.05). The emulsification activity index (26.67 ± 0.19 m
