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

Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is an abundant by-product rich in proteins and polysaccharides. This study evaluated ultrasound (US) to enhance alkaline protein extraction in 110 mM NaOH and to obtain a polysaccharide-enriched residue, with mechanical agitation (AG) as the control. First, 40 min extraction curves were evaluated at 25 and 50 °C and fitted to the Weibull model. At 25 °C, US increased the 40 min protein yield (40.8 ± 0.1 g/100 g initial protein) by 2.5-fold compared with AG; heating increased AG yield, whereas US showed negligible temperature sensitivity between 25 and 50 °C. Subsequently, extractions were performed at 25 °C in one or two 20 min cycles using fresh solvent. Extracts were recovered by pH-shift precipitation and freeze-dried. US maximised protein recovery (47.6 ± 0.1 g/100 g initial protein after two cycles) but co-extracted other compounds, reducing purity. AG extracts showed higher emulsifying activity (up to 9.6 ± 0.1 m
