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

pH-responsive gel carriers can protect anthocyanins during gastric exposure, but residual matrices may restrict intestinal release. Here, gelatin-fucoidan composite gels were designed using sulfate-rich fucoidan as a key responsive component. A 5 × 5 formulation matrix varied total solid content (2-10%) and gelatin-to-fucoidan ratio (9:1-5:5) to determine composition-performance relationships. Stable gel-forming formulations achieved >95% anthocyanin encapsulation. Increasing solid content strengthened the gel network and generally reduced gastric leakage, whereas the effect of polymer ratio was non-monotonic because sufficient gelatin was required for self-supporting gel formation. Selected high-solid formulations limited gastric anthocyanin release to <4% and underwent extensive disintegration in simulated intestinal fluid. The 10% gel at an 8:2 ratio showed 3.50 ± 0.40% gastric release and 99.94 ± 0.81% apparent cumulative release after the intestinal stage. These findings demonstrate that composition-guided gelatin-fucoidan gels can reconcile gastric protection with near-complete intestinal-stage anthocyanin release.
