Formulation, Characterization, and Lipolysis Properties of Lycopene-Loaded Self-Emulsifying Delivery Systems Based on Different Lipids.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Lycopene is a naturally potent lipophilic antioxidant, which limits its bioavailability for absorption during intestinal digestion. Therefore, this study utilized a self-emulsifying delivery system (SEDS) to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of lycopene and investigated the effects of nonionic surfactant mixtures at varying hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values and surfactant-to-oil ratios (SORs) on SEDS using oleic acid (OA), medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), and sunflower oil (SO) as oil matrices. The resulting water-in-oil-in-water emulsions exhibited droplet sizes (181.70 to 572.27 nm), polydispersity indices (0.29 to 0.86), and ζ-potentials (-22.90 to -53.70 mV), with stability varying according to the type of oil and formulation parameters. Antioxidant activities of SO-based SEDS were higher compared to MCT-based and OA-based ones due to lycopene loading increase.
