The influence of soft wheat grain germination on its technological properties.
Article in PloS one, 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
This study evaluates the impact of controlled germination on the technological properties of soft wheat grain (Tәuelsizdik variety) to determine its suitability for flour production. Grain was germinated for 24, 48, and 72 hours and incorporated into commercial flour at varying ratios (5%, 10%, and 15%) with gluten contents of 26%, 28%, and 30%. Technological properties including flour strength (W), water absorption capacity (WAC), and falling number (FN) were assessed using standard analytical methods and optimized through a Box-Behnken design with response surface modeling. Results revealed that increasing germination time significantly reduced gluten content, FN, and dough rheological parameters such as tenacity and elasticity, while increasing extensibility. Optimal technological performance was achieved with 29.8% gluten content, 24 hours of germination, and 8.2% germinated grain, yielding strong flour characteristics: W = 307.6 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ J, WAC = 54.9%, and FN = 180.4 s. The study highlights that, under optimal conditions, germinated soft wheat grain can be effectively utilized in flour production without compromising quality, offering a valuable strategy for processing sprouted grain resulting from unfavorable harvest conditions.
