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
Wheat bran, rich in fiber and bioactives, often impairs dough and final product quality upon incorporation. This study employed microwaving (MWB), steam explosion (SWB), and solid-state fermentation to modify wheat bran to improve its functionality in dough and noodles. All modifications reduced particle size (15.04%-29.77%) and increased bran surface area, improving dough water absorption. Notably, SWB drastically increased the content of phenolics (90.23%), flavonoids (2.65-fold), and water-extractable arabinoxylans (6.23-fold) while reducing bran crystallinity indices. The modifications differentially improved dough: MWB prolonged development and stability time, whereas SWB improved elasticity (increased G' and reduced tanδ) and disulfide bond content, indicating a strengthened gluten network. Consequently, noodles incorporating SWB achieved superior sensory scores, particularly in palatability and smoothness. Overall, steam explosion might be an effective bran modification strategy for balancing nutritional enrichment with enhanced dough rheology and noodle quality. These findings provide mechanistic and practical insights for cereal bran valorization.
