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

Developing clean-label, plant-based whipping creams without low-molecular-weight emulsifiers requires balancing overrun and stability. Herein, we deciphered the pH-dependent multiscale structure-function relationship of gliadin nanoparticle (GNP)-stabilized whipping creams. Emulsions (pH 5.0) prepared near the isoelectric point (pI) achieved superior firmness and ultra-high overrun. To elucidate the stabilization paradox, whereby a significantly increased interfacial protein mass unexpectedly fails to restrict fat coalescence, we decoupled interfacial and continuous-phase interactions. Quantitative proteomics revealed that although pH 5.0 enhanced overall interfacial GNP adsorption, the cross-linking γ-gliadin subfraction was selectively depleted. This structural vulnerability effectively offset the increased protein load, yielding a constant degree of fat partial coalescence. Consequently, macroscopic firmness was fundamentally driven by the continuous phase. Approaching pI induced profound protein unfolding, driving massive intermolecular disulfide cross-linking and hydrophobic interactions that intensified droplet flocculation and serum-phase aggregation. These molecular insights provide a robust physicochemical framework for rationally engineering clean-label aerated food matrices.
