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

This study aims to investigate the influence of surimi particle size on anisotropic lamellar structure formation in restructured fish products and the mechanisms underlying the evolution of associated microstructures and protein conformations. Silver carp surimi with varying disruption levels was prepared by controlling chopping time, followed by vacuum processing, compressing, freezing, and frying to obtain the final products. Moderate chopping (4 min) produced a relatively uniform matrix with intermediate particle size and protein solubilization, which tended to promote the formation of well-oriented ice crystals during freezing and resulted in relatively distinct lamellar structures after heating. These samples exhibited a maximum measured anisotropy index of 2.64, moderate hardness and chewiness, improved water distribution, and relatively favorable sensory characteristics. Moreover, moderate chopping induced partial protein unfolding, accompanied by increased exposure of free sulfhydryl and hydrophobic groups and interconversion between α-helix and β-sheet structures, thereby establishing a balanced protein continuous phase.
