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

This study systematically investigated the modulation effects of heating duration (0-60 min) on the structure, functional properties, and Pickering emulsion performance of chickpea protein aggregates (CPAs). CPAs heated for 30 min (CPAs-30) exhibited favorable properties: the smallest particle size (534.67 nm) and zeta potential (-26.6 mV), and enhanced colloidal stability compared to other heating durations. Further mechanistic analysis revealed that a synergistic stabilization mechanism involving enhanced hydrophobic interactions (contact angle increased from 71.75° to 77.8°, surface hydrophobicity rose 10.47-fold, β-sheet content increased from 36.9% to 46.7%), disulfide cross-linking, and hydrogen bonding. Consequently, emulsifying activity and stability increased by 1.42-fold and 3.79-fold, respectively, while interfacial adsorption capacity improved 1.07-fold, forming an elastic network (G' > G″). In vitro digestion assays further confirmed that CPAs-30 exhibited enhanced gastrointestinal resistance. This work establishes a structure-function framework for the rational design of high-performance plant protein colloids through controlled thermal aggregation.
