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.
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
Non-covalent amphiphilic complexes offer potential as interfacial stabilizers in emulsion-based delivery systems. However, the relationship between their molecular composition, interfacial assembly, and emulsion performance remains inadequately understood. Lysine-docosahexaenoic acid (Lys-DHA) complexes with varying mass ratios were synthesized to investigate how the Lys/DHA ratio influences oil-water interfacial behavior and lutein delivery. Analytical techniques and computational simulations revealed that Lys and DHA interacted through electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals interactions. Higher DHA content increased hydrophobic exposure and facilitated interfacial adsorption. The Lys-DHA (1:3) complex exhibited optimal interfacial properties, characterized by the lowest interfacial tension, highest surface pressure, fastest diffusion rate, and a predominantly elastic interfacial film. Emulsions stabilized by Lys-DHA (1:3) displayed smaller droplet sizes, lower ζ-potential, and more excellent physical stability, with an average droplet size of 317.97 nm and ζ-potential of -51.37 mV. Regarding lutein delivery, these emulsions achieved encapsulation efficiencies exceeding 80%, retained over 70% of lutein after 14 d, and enhanced lutein bioaccessibility to 44.9%. These results highlight the potential of Lys-DHA complexes as functional lipid-containing amphiphilic interfacial stabilizers, offering insights into the correlation between non-covalent molecular interactions and interfacial/emulsion characteristics.
