Kinetic description of changes in the size of casein microparticles under simulated gastric conditions.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Casein microparticles, which are gently produced by depletion flocculation and film drying, are suitable as a sustainable, biodegradable encapsulation material due to their pH-dependent swelling behaviour. However, the food protein casein is highly susceptible to degradation in the stomach due to its open, flexible conformation. In simulated gastric juice, the particles undergo different phases of shrinkage and swelling. Control experiments show that the initial two-stage shrinkage process and the subsequent swelling are due to the acidification of the particles. When pH 2 is reached, an almost exponential decay induced by pepsin takes place until a highly degraded final state is reached. The kinetic analysis of the results is based on the pH profile of the casein solubility as well as on pH- and pepsin-induced structural changes in the casein matrix, which are combined in a system-dynamic model. Data and model simulations show that microparticles can pass through the gastric environment.
