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

High-temperature cooking can induce oxidation and structural changes in myofibrillar protein (MP), harming meat product quality. 6-gingerol is a key part of ginger and a natural antioxidant. In this study, MP was mixed with 6-gingerol and cooked at different temperatures. Chemical methods, fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and molecular docking were used to study the effects on protein aggregation, oxidation, molecular structure, and the microstructure of muscle fibers. The results showed that 40 μg/mL of 6-gingerol significantly optimized the indexes of beef MP. For example, 6-gingerol inhibited the decrease in MP sulfhydryl content and solubility, delayed the rise in surface hydrophobicity and carbonyl content, decreased the particle size of MP, and elevated the absolute value of Zeta potential, which, in turn, hindered oxidative denaturation and the aggregation of proteins. 6-gingerol could maintain the stability of the spatial conformational structure and microstructure of the protein. The protein secondary structure changed, and the α-helical might have been transformed into the β-folded one. The binding of 6-gingerol to MP mainly relied on hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic interactions. Thus, 6-gingerol had a positive effect on the antioxidant properties and structural stability of beef MP during heating.
