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

In this study, betaine-based natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) were formulated for the extraction of safflower seed protein (SSP). Among the five NADES screened, betaine-glycerol (1:2 M ratio) was identified as optimal, achieving a protein purity of 85.66% and an extraction yield of 56.66%. Using response surface methodology, the extraction yield was further increased to 66.45% ± 0.43% under optimized conditions (29% water content, 52 °C, solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:24). Compared with protein extracted by alkaline solubilization-acid precipitation (AEAP), NADES-extracted SSP exhibited a lighter color, higher α-helix content (23.86%), and lower β-sheet content (34.16%), with better preservation of subunit integrity. Functionally, it demonstrated superior solubility (85.00%), emulsifying activity (93.23 m
