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

Tofu, a traditional food made from soybeans, has been widely consumed in the world but tofu production generates significant by-products such as tofu whey, and other residues. In the present study, Aquaforte, derived from tofu whey, was investigated for its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties in combating oxidative stress-induced damage in human keratinocytes (HaCaT). Antioxidant capacities were assessed through antioxidant properties were evaluated through DPPH and ABTS assays in which the Aquaforte samples demonstrated superior efficacy. In AAPH induced oxidative stress model, Aquaforte significantly suppressed intracellular reactive oxygen species levels, enhanced cell viability, and accelerated cellular migration in the wound healing assay, suggesting its potential in tissue regeneration. Furthermore, Aquaforte reduced the formation of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci. Additionally, quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed that Aquaforte decreased interlukin-6 expression and upregulated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2. This research contributes to sustainable upcycling by valorizing tofu whey by-products into beneficial bioactive compounds.
