Pre-Esterification Dry Heat Treatment Enhances the Functional Properties of Starch Citrate: Enzyme Resistance and Water Absorption.
Article in Biopolymers, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study investigates how pre-esterification dry heat treatment (DHT) of corn starch at 170°C, 180°C, and 200°C influences the functional properties of subsequently synthesized starch citrates. Structural and morphological changes induced by DHT and esterification were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, and Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy. Starch citrates were characterized for their resistance to pancreatic α-amylase and amyloglucosidase, as well as their water absorption capacity (WAC) at 37°C. Results demonstrated a strong correlation between DHT temperature and the functional properties of the final citrate. Increasing the DHT temperature significantly increased the resistant starch fraction and WAC. Specifically, citrates from native starch had a resistant starch (RS) fraction of 91%, while citrates from starch pre-treated at 200°C exhibited a markedly increased RS fraction of 98% and a 64% increase in WAC. These findings indicate that DHT is an effective pre-treatment for enhancing the dietary fiber potential and hydration properties of starch citrates.
