High-Energy Milling as a Pre-Treatment Alternative for Lignocellulosic Fibers Derived from Brewer's Spent Grain.
Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The objective of this study was to evaluate how high-energy milling affects the structural, thermal, and morphological properties of brewer's spent grain fibers over time. The researchers determined the chemical composition of the samples using TAPPI techniques, particle size analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The samples displayed distinct morphologies and particle sizes depending on the treatment duration. The sample treated for 120 min (T120) showed the smallest particle size (19.4 µm). FTIR spectra revealed that the mechanical treatment strongly disrupted the structure of hemicellulose. The thermal stability of the samples decreased because of the applied treatment. Mechanical milling also fully eliminated the crystalline structure of cellulose in the samples. These findings indicate that high-energy milling holds strong potential as a pre-treatment method for the valorization of lignocellulosic residues.
