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

Meringue has limited the use of meringue for personalization because of its thermally unstable system. Citric acid (CA) enhancement of egg white protein (EWP) foaming properties is proposed for the preparation of 3D-printed meringues. The results showed that CA increased the viscosity, exposure of hydrophobic groups (79.8% increase), and free sulfhydryl content (from 5 µmol/g to 34.8 µmol/g) of the EWP, thereby increasing the foaminess (from 50% to 178.2%). CA treatment increased the rates of adsorption, stretching, and orientation of EWP at the air-water interface to form multiple layers, resulting in a delay in foam thinning. The secondary structure of CA-treated EWP remained intact, and the exposure of amino acid residues in the tertiary structure increased with the expansion of the hydrophobic region. CA-treated EWP-prepared protein creams had a suitable viscosity (from 233.4 Pa·s to 1007 Pa·s at 0.1 s
