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

A comparison between the gel properties of blends of kappa- and iota-carrageenans (K+Is) and hybrid carrageenans (KIs) with equivalent chemical compositions is here presented. The objective is to assess under which conditions hybrid carrageenans are valuable alternative to blends of kappa- and iota-carrageenans for gelling applications and to contribute to the identification of phase-separated structures or co-aggregated helices. Phase states constructed in sodium chloride and in potassium chloride confirm that KIs build gels under a much narrower range of ionic strength and polysaccharide concentration. Hybrid carrageenans displayed salt specificity, forming gels in KCl but not in NaCl, highlighting their limited gelling potential in Na
