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

Sialic acid (Neu5Ac) possesses a wide range of bioactivities; however, its instability under acidic conditions prevents it from effectively reaching the intestine. This underscores the urgent need to develop a stable delivery system capable of protecting Neu5Ac from gastric degradation and achieving its controlled release in the intestine. To enhance the stability and achieve controlled release, Neu5Ac was encapsulated within water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) emulsion-based microcapsules in this work. S2 emulsions featured a "dual-chamber, tri-phase" structure, comprising a Neu5Ac-chitosan fluid gel (inner aqueous phase), maize oil (oil phase), and an external aqueous phase of 13% sodium starch octenyl succinate, 5% β-cyclodextrin, 1.5% sodium caseinate, and 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose. Microstructural analyses confirmed spherical morphology with core-shell architecture and bimodal droplet distribution (1-10 μm). In addition, S2 emulsions exhibited an encapsulation efficiency (EE) of 92.44%, a zeta potential of -60.80 mV, a Sauter mean diameter (d
