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 study aimed to investigate the effects of different freezing temperatures and storage durations on the digestive and structural properties of chicken meat proteins. The texture, protein digestibility, particle size, and microstructure of the digested samples were used to characterize their digestive properties. Conformational changes in the digested samples were confirmed by infrared spectroscopy, circular dichroism, and endogenous tryptophan fluorescence spectra. The results revealed that the moisture and protein contents decreased with extended storage and increased temperature. Compared to fresh chicken breasts, protein digestibility decreased as the duration of frozen storage increased. Moreover, the samples stored at -40 °C had higher digestibility than those stored at -18 °C, and the protein structure of the samples stored at -18 °C exhibited more damage and was more likely to aggregate compared to the protein of samples stored at -40 °C. Therefore, a higher freezing temperature and an extended frozen storage duration result in greater structural damage to the protein and lower protein digestibility.
