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
Sunflower seed protein (SSP) is an emerging plant-derived protein ingredient with high nutritional quality. However, the relatively low solubility of SSP restricted its broader application in food systems. In this work, ultrasound combined with pH-shifting was used to improve the solubility of SSP. Meanwhile, the effects of ultrasound applied at different stages of pH-shifting on the structural and functional properties of SSP were also elucidated. Ultrasound treatment at 150 W and 400 W applied during and after pH-shifting significantly reduced the particle size of SSP and enhanced electrostatic repulsion. SDS-PAGE profiles indicated that the combined treatment decreased the intensity of albumin bands and promoted the appearance of lower molecular weight fragments. Ultrasound at pH 12.0 induced structural unfolding of SSP, exposed more hydrophobic tryptophan residues, and markedly improved emulsifying activity index (13.60 ± 0.15 m
