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

introductionEugenol and isoeugenol, key flavor isomers, exert distinct effects on sweetness perception but suffer from poor thermal and oxidative stability, as well as rapid aroma volatilization, during food processing and storage. γ-Cyclodextrin (γ-CD) ameliorates these drawbacks via host-guest inclusion; however, the structural differences of their inclusion complexes and the T1R2/T1R3-mediated sweetness regulation mechanism remain elusive, limiting their applications in sugar-reduced food formulations.

objectivesThis study aimed to comprehensively characterize γ-CD inclusion complexes of eugenol and isoeugenol, elucidate their differential sweetness regulation via T1R2/T1R3 at molecular and sensory levels, and reveal structural-stability relationships, hypothesizing that cis-trans isomeric differences (eugenol: cis-double bond; isoeugenol: trans-double bond) drive distinct complex properties and sweetness effects.

methodsComplexes were prepared via the solvent-dropping method (optimized with 1:2 M ratio, 60 °C, 7 h). XRD, DSC, TGA, FTIR, and

conclusionγ-CD encapsulation enhances eugenol/isoeugenol stability and sustained aroma release. Isomeric differences lead to distinct T1R2/T1R3 binding modes and differential sweetness regulation, providing theoretical and technical support for precise flavor-sweetness control in sugar-reduced foods and laying a foundation for their practical integration into low-sugar food systems.
