Sprouted Oats as Functional Ingredients: Biochemical Transformations, Nutritional Enhancement, and Health Implications.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Over the past few decades, there has been a notable increase in the incorporation of sprouted oats into the human diet, driven by their perceived health benefits from enhanced nutritional qualities and bioactive contents. This review finds that sprouting consistently improves protein digestibility, phenolic content and GABA levels, while reducing anti-nutrients such as phytate-though the extent of enhancement is highly dependent on cultivar and germination conditions. These nutritional modifications contribute to potential health-promoting effects, including anti-inflammatory and chemopreventative properties, thereby opening opportunities in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries. However, a critical gap remains in limited human clinical trials validating these health benefits, and the influence of light spectra on the oat nutritional profile remains unexplored. A critical understanding of these germination-induced changes is essential for optimizing processing parameters and developing innovative products to meet evolving consumer demands for novel, health-focused food products.
