Effects of Fortified Wheat Bran Arabinoxylan on the Quality of Wheat Malt Beer.

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
Arabinoxylan, a key non-starch polysaccharide in wheat bran, significantly influences the quality and health benefits of wheat beer. This study aimed to investigate how wheat bran addition (0-20%) affects water-extracted arabinoxylan (WEAX) content and beer quality in 100% wheat malt beer. The study integrated physicochemical analyses (polysaccharide composition, WEAX molecular weight), process parameters (wort filtration time, foam stability), and sensory evaluation to establish structure-function relationships. Results showed that the WEAX content in beer increased from 1.36 mg/mL in pure malt beer (0% bran) to 2.25 mg/mL with 20% bran addition. Bran addition shortened wort filtration time by 20-45%. The molecular weight of WEAX was mainly 2936-7062 Da, enhancing foam expansion (36.18%) and stability (15.54%) due to elevated polymerization and arabinose-to-xylose (A/X) ratios. WEAX fractions (7062-10,134 Da and 859-2936 Da) correlated positively with beer turbidity and viscosity. Sensory analysis identified 15% bran as optimal for balanced quality. These findings demonstrate that bran addition enhances WEAX content, polymerization, and A/X ratios, improving foam performance, reducing filtration time, and optimizing beer quality without altering arabinogalactan, glucan, or mannose polymer content.
