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

Pomegranate seeds constitute over 50% of juice-processing pomace and represent an underutilized sustainable plant protein source. This study compared albumin (ALB), globulin (GLO), prolamin (PRO), glutelin (GLU), and crude protein (CP) fractions of pomegranate seed protein. ALB exhibited the highest solubility (24.32%) and essential amino acid index (15.24%) with the lowest trypsin inhibition rate (5.08%), indicating superior hydration and nutritional potential. PRO showed the highest surface hydrophobicity (472.62), strongest oil-holding capacity and emulsion stability, the highest intestinal digestibility (21.18%), and the lowest phytic acid content (1.03 μmol/g). GLU exhibited the highest zeta potential (-30.14 mV), thermal stability (Td 163.2 °C; ΔH 201.65 J/g), and foaming performance. Correlation analysis linked secondary structure and surface hydrophobicity with thermal stability, oil binding, emulsification, and digestibility. Data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry revealed fraction-specific enrichment of storage, lipid-transfer-related, and metabolic proteins. These findings demonstrate structure-function differentiation among PSP fractions and support their targeted food applications.
