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

Zein possesses a unique amphiphilic structure and excellent biocompatibility, making it a natural carrier of bioactive substances with significant development potential in the food sector. However, its extremely poor water solubility has limited its scope of application. This study aims to optimize the structure of zein through ultrasound-assisted glycosylation and resveratrol grafting. The results indicated that mild ultrasonic treatment effectively exposed active amino acid groups in zein, promoted the glycosylation degree of zein, improved protein solubility, and enhances the grafting efficiency of resveratrol. In particular, 100 W ultrasonic treatment resulted in the highest glycosylation degree (40.0%) and protein solubility (18.36 mg/mL) for zein, while reducing the hydrophobic index by 46%. Following resveratrol grafting, the glycosylated nanoparticles treated with 100 W sonication exhibited the smallest particle size (15.56 nm), the highest grafting degree (90.32%) and the maximum solubility (28.47  mg/mL). This modification induced the loss of ordered secondary structures (β-sheets) and yielded significantly higher 2,2'-azobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS•
