Dietary wet fermented Brewer's grains modulate hepatic metabolism in pullets.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of wet-fermented brewer's grains (WFBG) on liver metabolism in pullets. A total of 120 female 84-d-old pullets (575.2 ± 4.3 g) were randomly allocated into 2 treatments (0% and 20% WFBG) with 6 replicates per group and 10 birds per replicate in this 28-d experiment. Birds fed 20% WFBG had higher (P < 0.05) superoxide dismutase (SOD) level and lower (P < 0.05) malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the liver compared with the control group. In total, 324 liver differentially-expressed metabolites (DEMs) including 208 up-regulated DEMs and 116 down-regulated DEMs were identified and considered to be related with WFBG. Pathway analysis revealed that these DEMs were mainly involved in 64 metabolic pathways including metabolic pathways metabolism, glycerophospholipid (GP) metabolism, linoleic acid (LA) metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism (ARA), and alpha-linolenic acid metabolism. Furthermore, untargeted metabolomic analyses uncovered 18 common up-regulated DEMs and 8 common down-regulated DEMs in GP, LA and ARA metabolism in the 20% WFBG group (P < 0.05), such as lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC(18:0/0:0), LPC(0:0/20:4)), lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE(22:6/0:0)), and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. Overall, the inclusion of 20% WFBG in the diets of pullets led to alterations in liver metabolism.
