Impact of water ion content on milk protein concentrate gel properties.

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
This study investigated how differences in trace ions present in food industrial and household water affect the formation and properties of milk protein concentrate (MPC) gels. MPC dispersions were prepared using reverse osmosis (RO) water and boiled tap water, a type of water commonly used for daily household consumption, while dispersions prepared with ultrapure water served as the control. The regulatory role of trace ions was systematically characterized by analyzing the ionic composition of the water, the conductivity and zeta potential of the MPC dispersions, the microstructure, water holding capacity, and rheological properties of the MPC gels. The results show that even modest ion content (1.4 mmol/L) in boiled tap water can significantly alter MPC gel properties. Although gels prepared with boiled tap water exhibited a denser microstructure, their elastic modulus and water holding capacity were lower than those of gels prepared with RO water. These outcomes are attributed to the higher concentrations of divalent cations (Ca
