Integrated Protein-Lipid Digestion Profiles of Human Milk, Infant Formulas, and Dairy Ingredients Under Infant In Vitro Digestion.

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
Human milk (HM) represents the physiological reference for infant digestion, whereas infant formulas (IFs) differ in protein composition and lipid architecture. This study compared the gastric and intestinal digestion of HM, five commercial IFs, whole milk powder (WMP), and protein ingredients using a standardized infant in vitro model. Protein hydrolysis was assessed through digestibility and residual subunit patterns, and lipid digestion was evaluated through free fatty acid release and fatty acid profiling. Gastric digestion revealed pronounced differences driven by intrinsic structure and processing, whereas intestinal digestion reduced these disparities, although distinct subunit patterns persisted. Lipid analyses showed clear source-dependent separation before digestion and partial convergence during intestinal lipolysis. Several IFs containing structured lipid and vegetable-oil systems showed intestinal fatty acid or free fatty acid profiles closer to HM than WMP, whereas samples with stronger bovine-fat signatures remained more distinct. Overall, the results demonstrate that digestion-product patterns provide mechanistic insight into structure-driven digestion behavior in complex dairy-based matrices, beyond compositional comparison alone.
