Corn Steep Liquor as an Efficient Bioresource for Functional Components Production by Biotransformation Technology.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Corn is an important crop that can be used to produce many bioactive compounds. These functional components have been widely applied in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. Corn steep liquor (CSL) is a by-product of deep processing of corn that contains a lot of protein, peptides, amino acids, vitamins, and other nutrients, which is considered to be a rich and cheap source of plant nutrients. However, CSL is not widely used and factories are required to treat CSL as waste water directly; therefore, the question of how to turn CSL waste into a valuable product is likely to become a hot topic. In order to fully explore the potential utilization value of CSL, this review comprehensively summarizes the structural composition and nutritional characteristics of CSL, and its application and prospect in the biotransformation of industrialized organic acids, polysaccharides, lipids, enzymes, natural pigments, and novel functional components through the microbial fermentation pathway. Furthermore, specific methods for bioconverting various active substances using CSL were proposed, and the influences of various production conditions on the yield of the bioactive substances were fully analyzed and discussed. This article provides a reference for the efficient utilization of corn steep liquor as a by-product of corn processing.
