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

Sulforaphane (SFN) is an anti-cancer isothiocyanate occurring in Brassicaceae. SFN is decomposed by heat, oxygen, and alkaline conditions. Microencapsulation is a way to improve its stability. This work presents the development of SFN microcapsules using an oil-in-water emulsion with gum arabic (GA) as the wall material for incorporation into yogurt. The process for obtaining SFN microcapsules was optimized using response surface methodology. The optimal microencapsulation conditions were 7 min of stirring, an SFN/GA mass ratio of 0.7, and a surfactant concentration of 7%, resulting in an entrapment efficiency of 90.0 ± 3.0%, the highest reported. The microcapsules had a regular spherical shape with 0.5-5.5 µm diameter and no cracks. Freezing temperature (-4 °C) preserved 100% of SFN in the microcapsule for 90 days. Yogurt added with SFN microcapsules maintained physical and microbiological quality. SFN retention in yogurt after 30 days was 57% when microencapsulated, showing a 14-fold reduction in the kinetic degradation constant compared with free SFN, confirming the efficacy of this method.
