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

This study investigates the antioxidant properties of several synthetic peptides derived from milk proteins previously identified in milk permeate, a by-product of the dairy industry. The aim of the research is to identify which peptides present in milk permeate are responsible for its antioxidant activity. A comprehensive experimental strategy was employed to evaluate their antioxidant potential, including in silico selection, in vitro free radical scavenging assays and cellular models using Caco-2 and HCT116 cell lines. The peptides were screened using a molecular docking approach for their potential interaction with the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Keap1/Nrf2) pathway, and eight out of twenty-eight were selected and synthesized for further analyses. In vitro, six of the selected peptides demonstrated significant direct antioxidant activity in the DPPH scavenging assay, and two in the ABTS scavenging test. In cellular environments, three peptides (LPAPELGPRQA, LPIIQKLEPQI and NGQVWEESLKRL) effectively protect cells from oxidative stress induced by
