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

Anthocyanins are widely appreciated as natural pigments, but their use in foods and related industries is still quite limited because they are highly sensitive to heat, pH changes, light, and oxygen. Improving their stability has therefore become a key focus in developing more reliable natural color systems. In this study, beetroot anthocyanins were microencapsulated with different wall materials, maltodextrin (MD), gum arabic (GA), a simple MD/GA blend, and a ternary structure combining MD, GA, and sodium caseinate (MD/GA/SC). These systems were evaluated for their encapsulation efficiencies, antioxidant activity preservation, release behaviors, and degradation responses over a wide range of temperatures (40-100 °C) and pH levels (2.5-6.5). Remarkable findings demonstrated that the MD/GA/SC formulation provided the highest encapsulation efficiency (93.36%), superior radical-scavenging activity (88.43%), and the most controlled release profile. Moreover, this formulation demonstrated the lowest degradation rate constants at pH 2.5, 4.5, and 6.5 (2.886, 2.083, and 1.30 1/min, respectively) together with the highest activation energies at these pH levels (37.460, 52.517, and 62.045 kJ/mol, respectively), indicating a pronounced improvement in thermal stability compared with the other formulations and the free extract. An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict anthocyanin degradation. The ANN provided highly accurate predictions (
