Preparation and Digestive Properties of Biscuits Enriched with Extrusion-Modified Dietary Fiber: Effects on Slow Transit Constipation.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Dietary fiber (DF) is essential for digestive health, and wheat bran is a potential source because of its high fiber content. Extrusion processing enhances wheat bran's functional properties by modifying its structure. This study aimed to examine the effects of extrusion-modified wheat bran dietary fiber (E-WBDF) on biscuits, focusing on textural, color, and digestive characteristics, and evaluate its ability to alleviate constipation using a mouse model. E-WBDF-enriched biscuits exhibited lower brightness, deeper color, reduced hardness, and a significant decline in digestion rate compared with conventional biscuits. In the mouse model, E-WBDF biscuits increased fecal volume and moisture, shortened defecation time, and accelerated small intestine transit. The results indicate that E-WBDF can enhance the physical properties of biscuits while reducing their digestion rate, thereby exhibiting a potential therapeutic effect in alleviating constipation in the mouse model. This study provides novel insights into using E-WBDF in biscuit formulations, offering a promising strategy for developing functional foods that promote digestive health.
