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

Protein misfolding and aggregation are central to many protein aggregation disorders, highlighting the need for effective aggregation inhibitors. This study investigated fructose-induced aggregation of hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) and its modulation by the phenolic acids ferulic acid (FA), caffeic acid (CA) and chlorogenic acid (CGA) at 100 and 200 μM. Circular dichroism and ThT fluorescence assays showed that fructose promoted aggregation through increased β-sheet content and fluorescence intensity, respectively, whereas all phenolic acids suppressed β-sheet formation. CA displayed the highest aggregation inhibition activity, followed by FA and CGA. FESEM imaging confirmed fructose-induced HEWL aggregation without fibril formation and demonstrated disruption of aggregates in the presence of phenolic acids. These findings were explained by other biophysical characterisation studies. Fluorescence spectroscopy indicated a static quenching mechanism for all complexes, with FA and CA displaying atypical quenching behaviour. Binding constants suggested moderate affinity, with CA (4.11 ± 0.57 × 10
