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

As an important local specialty dish, cowhide jelly suffers from issues such as poor thermal stability. Herein, cowhide jelly was modified using transglutaminase (TG) and agar, and the enhancement effect of the modification on the product's thermal stability and the underlying mechanism were investigated. Results showed that TG and agar significantly improved the melting point (from 29.16 °C to >80 °C), gel strength (from 84.23 g to 116.98 g), and chewiness (from 243.86 mj to 373.97 mj) of cowhide jelly. The covalent forces induced by TG, together with non-covalent forces triggered by agar, increased the cross-linking degree of cowhide jelly to 53.17%. Meanwhile, a large percentage of immobilized water was associated with the denser network structure formed after the cross-linking of TG, agar, and cowhide jelly. Furthermore, secondary structure determination showed that the β-sheet content of cowhide jelly increased (from 33.1% to 40.5%), indicating an improvement in its gelling properties.
