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

The efficient loading of proteins on bioactive substances had been a research hotspot in the fields of food science and industry in recent years. The complex of ultrasound-assisted phosphorylated cantaloupe seed protein isolate (UP-CSPI) and curcumin (CUR) was prepared by pH shift method to investigate the effects of different concentrations of CUR on the structure and functional properties of UP-CSPI. The results showed that with the increase of CUR concentration, the zeta potential, the antioxidant activity and emulsifying performance of the complex improved. The interaction between CUR and UP-CSPI was a spontaneous reaction driven by Gibbs free energy (ΔG<0). The enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS)>0, indicating mainly hydrophobic interaction. Furthermore, CUR caused changes in the secondary structure of the UP-CSPI, β-turns increased from 38.33 % to 45 %-47 %, random coils decreased from 25.85 % to 13 %-14 %. In conclusion, the binding of CUR to proteins through pH shift had solved the problem of CUR instability and also provided new insights for the development and application of plant protein-based delivery systems.
