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

There is a growing global demand for healthy and nutritious foods, especially among specialized groups such as athletes and bodybuilders. Water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsions have garnered significant interest due to their ability to simultaneously deliver both hydrophilic and hydrophobic bioactive compounds. This review discusses the cargo release mechanism of W/O/W emulsions, along with their inherent advantages and limitations. The primary preparation methods and fabrication techniques for such emulsions are subsequently summarized. Additionally, the instability mechanisms of W/O/W emulsions are verified, and corresponding strategies to enhance their stability are proposed. Furthermore, the application of double emulsions as nutritional supplements in sports nutrition is critically reviewed, alongside key directions for future research. This review provides a theoretical foundation for the design and development of stable, functionally tailored double emulsions intended for application in athlete-specific food nutrition.
