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

Mung bean is a rich protein source, but its native form has limited solubility and functionality for food applications. As a promising agro-based crop, mung bean offers a sustainable alternative to traditional protein sources, especially in regions with limited access to resources. This study optimized mung bean protein hydrolysate (MBPH) production using response surface methodology (RSM), investigating the effects of alcalase concentration (2-7%) and hydrolysis time (2-7 h) on its physicochemical and functional properties. The results showed that an alcalase concentration of 5.88% and a hydrolysis duration of 3.56 h were the optimal conditions, resulting in a degree of hydrolysis of approximately 33.09%. Under these conditions, MBPH contained 79.33 ± 0.62% protein and a molecular weight distribution of 45.57% and 47.29% at 1.1-10 kDa and <10 kDa, respectively. Additionally, MBPH exhibited strong antioxidant activity, improved foam capacity, and enhanced solubility, making it a valuable ingredient for sustainable food production and promoting equitable access to nutritious functional ingredients.
