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

Sorghum is a drought-tolerant, high-yielding cereal crop rich in carbohydrates, proteins, and dietary fiber, rendering it a valuable resource for food, feed, and biofuel industries. Sorghum husks, the fibrous by-products generated druing grain processing, remain largely underutilized. In this study, sorghum husk proteins (SHPs) were isolated and systematically characterized in terms of their chemical composition, physicochemical properties, antioxidant activities, and carrier potential for functional compounds. The results demonstrated that glutelin exhibited superior foaming ability and stability, disulfide bond content, and antioxidant activity in chemical and cell-based assays. Additionally, hyaluronic acid (HA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified glutelin-based sub-micron particles (SMPs) significantly improved the stability of encapsulated lycopene (LYC), mitigating its degradation by 14.38%-70.02% under thermal stress, 16.18%-59.80% under ultraviolet irradiation, and 16.84%-40.60% under oxidative stresses. These SMPs also exhibited potent
