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

Carvacrol (CAR) has antimicrobial and antioxidant activity and potential as a food additive, but its intense aroma and high volatility limit its use in foods. Nanoencapsulation has been proposed as a strategy to overcome these limitations. This study evaluated the antioxidant and antimicrobial performance of chia mucilage nanocapsules containing CAR (CMNP) and the effect of nanoencapsulation on CAR content during storage in milk. CMNP and CAR in solution (CS) were added at the Bactericidal Inhibitory Concentration (BIC) and ½ BIC in skim and whole milk. Antioxidant activity was determined by the ABTS (2,2 azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) assay, and antimicrobial efficacy was evaluated against
