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

Zanthoxylum bungeanum meal (ZBM), a byproduct of oil extraction, contains toxic alkaloids and alkylamides limiting its use as animal feed. This study investigated the degradation of these compounds using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains Lactobacillus acidipiscis and Lactobacillus paracasei isolated from ZBM via solid-state fermentation (SSF). LAB were identified using hyperspectral imaging, morphology, and plate counting. Fermentation conditions were optimized (e.g., 37 °C, pH 6.0, 48 h), with data analyzed via t-test, one-way ANOVA, and linear regression. Results showed degradation rates of 39.01% for alkaloids (to 3.01 mg/g) and 50.41% for alkylamides (to 2.87 mg/g). pH decreased over time due to organic acid production, while LAB growth peaked at 9 × 10^7 CFU/g before declining. This approach offers an economical, environmentally friendly method to convert ZBM into safe feed, though limitations include strain-specific efficacy and scale-up challenges.
