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

Heat-induced aggregation, sulfurous off-flavors, and oxidative instability pose challenges for the use of egg white proteins (EWPs) in high-protein beverages. In this study, a ternary conjugated system comprising EWP, milk casein, and xylitol (EMX) was incorporated into skimmed milk powder (SMP) and whole-fat milk powder (WFM) beverages, which were subsequently treated with ultrasound (US; 20 kHz, 300 W). Physicochemical properties, oxidative stability, volatile compounds, in vitro digestion, and storage stability over 30 days at 4 °C were monitored. The results showed that EMX conjugated system exhibited higher solubility (91.04 % vs. 88.54 %) and a 2.4-fold reduction in turbidity compared with skimmed beverages. Ultrasound further decreased particle size and increased molecular flexibility in whole-fat formulations. Additionally, EMX showed the greatest thermal stability (Td 114.17 °C; ΔHd 179.3 J/g), while US treatment improved Td from 102.21 °C to 113.23 °C in SMP. US-treated whole-fat beverages demonstrated lower TBARS values during days 0-14 but higher values than their untreated counterparts on day 30. Protein carbonyl levels remained lowest in US-treated skimmed beverages throughout storage. Altogether, the US increased digestibility, while mitigating dipropyl disulfide and 2-furanmethanethiol sulfurous off-flavors. In conclusion, US-assisted EMX ternary conjugation offers a promising approach for developing the functionality and sensory qualities of protein-enriched dairy model systems.
