Impact of reduced pancreatin and bile on Fe and Zn bioaccessibility assessment using the INFOGEST
Article in Food chemistry: X, 2026. 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
In a previously proposed stable isotope approach based on the INFOGEST protocol, pancreatin and bile amounts were reduced due to their high mineral content, which interferes with Fe and Zn measurements. The present study examined the impact of reagent reduction on macronutrient digestibility and, consequently, mineral release in ten food samples. Macronutrient digestibility was higher under INFOGEST conditions. However, Fe and Zn solubility were not consistently modified across matrices, although, a general trend of increased solubility was observed in the standard INFOGEST method. Fe solubility increased by 64-91 % in cereals, beans, and nuts but decreased by 48 % in sweet potato. Similarly, Zn solubility increased by 11-75 % in oats, nuts, and leafy vegetables, while it decreased by 18-64 % in potatoes and beans. Overall, the influence of enzymatic action and background minerals could not be isolated, thus standardisation of the INFOGEST method for mineral bioaccessibility assessment is urgently needed.
