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

β-Carotene exhibits antioxidant properties. However, β-carotene degrades under the action of oxygen, heat, and light and is insoluble in water. This study aimed to develop a new β-carotene formulation using inulin and lactoferrin. β-Carotene-loaded inulin complexes were coated with lactoferrin at pH values of 4, 6, and 8. The obtained particles were dispersible in water in the range of 17.4-22.9 mg/mL. The hydrodynamic diameter of particles was 250-300 nm or greater depending on the [CAR-IN]/[LF] ratio and the pH value. Encapsulated β-carotene retained its antioxidant activity. The new formulation was studied in real food systems. The kinetic parameters of the colour changes in the beverages and yogurt fortified with the new particles were determined under various storage conditions. At 4 °C, the reaction rate constants (d
