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.
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 evaluated the effects of ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis on the structural and flavor properties of porcine plasma protein (PPP). Five proteases, pepsin, stem bromelain, ficin, neutral protease and papain, were used to hydrolyze porcine plasma protein, and their effects on the degree of hydrolysis (DH) were compared. The neutral protease-treated group exhibited the highest DH, reaching 11.74 ± 0.04%. Ultrasonic pretreatment (500 W, 5 min) further increased the DH to 17.43 ± 0.40% and improved sweetness and umami taste, as revealed by sensory evaluation and electronic tongue/nose analyses. Free amino acid analysis showed that total free amino acids in the ultrasound-assisted group reached 3515.81 ± 12.17 μg/g, with significant increases in umami- and sweetness-associated amino acids. Structural characterization using endogenous fluorescence, surface hydrophobicity, particle size/zeta potential, and scanning electron microscopy indicated that the combined effect of ultrasound and enzymatic hydrolysis induced protein unfolding, exposed hydrophobic regions, and enhanced enzyme accessibility. These changes included increased α-helix and random coil contents, reduced β-turn content, enhanced surface hydrophobicity, reduced particle size, and a more fragmented and porous microstructure. This study provides a theoretical basis for using ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis to improve the umami taste of porcine plasma protein.
