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

Complex coacervation is a widely used method for bioactive compound microencapsulation. Red cabbage extract is a natural pigment that contains anthocyanins, which provide attractive and bright colors with no reported toxicity and associated healthy properties. These types of pigments have led to a deep interest in developing natural colorants to at least partially replace their synthetic counterparts in the food industry. The present study aimed to encapsulate red cabbage extract using a complex coacervation system comprising gum arabic:inulin (GA:In) and pea protein (PP) as wall materials. A total of four treatments were tested, maintaining a consistent pea protein concentration (1%), and the concentrations of GA:In (1 and 3%) and red cabbage extract (1 and 10%) were varied. The results showed high encapsulation efficiency values, with all treatments achieving encapsulation levels above 95%. The total monomeric anthocyanin concentration was 6.7 μg anthocyanin Eq. C3G/mg of flour, and to explore bioactivity of the extract,
