Modeling improvements in digestible amino acids by a consensus bacterial 6-phytase variant in grower pigs.
Article in Journal of animal science, 2025. 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
Data from 8 datasets generated from 5 independent experiments that determined the effects of a consensus bacterial 6-phytase variant (PhyG) on apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of amino acids (AA) in growing pigs (~21 to 45 kg body weight) were combined and modeled to test the hypothesis that the phytase results in significant improvements in ileal AA digestibility. The aim was to generate accurate and robust dose-related predictions of the digestible AA contributions of the phytase. The 5 experiments were conducted in Spain, Australia, USA, and Brazil and incorporated variation in diet composition (ingredient composition, phytate-phosphorus (PP) content, limestone solubility), diet form, animal breed and sex. A total of 325 datapoints (observations) were analyzed. First, the relationship between the percentage AID of AA and log-transformed phytase dose (range 0 to 4,000 phytase units (FTU)/kg, analyzed values) was modeled by log-linear regression across all datasets without adjustment for variation in the response to the negative control (NC) diet. The model predicted that the mean AID of total AA in the NC diets was 68.6% (range 43.3% [Cys] to 81.7% [Arg]). This was increased linearly by PhyG supplementation (P < 0.05), by 3.7 percentage units when dosed at 1,000 FTU/kg and by 4.5 percentage units at 4,000 FTU/kg. Second, the percentage unit change in the AID of AA at each phytase dose from baseline (NC without added phytase) was calculated separately for each dataset and the data then combined and modeled together by log-linear regression, against analyzed and log-transformed phytase dose. By this analysis, increases were evident for the AID of all individual (and total) AA. Increases (vs. baseline) at 1,000 and 2,000 FTU/kg were greatest for Trp (+ 6.1 and + 6.8 percentage units), Thr (+ 3.4 and + 3.8 percentage units after correction for synthetic Thr), Gly (+ 7.5 and + 8.3 percentage units) and Cys (+ 5.6 and + 6.2 percentage units). In conclusion, combined data from 5 separate experiments indicate that the bacterial phytase-6 variant will improve ileal digestibility of AA if included in diets fed to growing pigs. The data will allow diet-specific AA matrix recommendations to be made in commercial feed formulations containing PhyG.
