Exploring Edible Insects: A Review on Protein Diversity, Extraction Techniques and Health Benefits.
Review in Current pharmaceutical biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 investigates whether edible insects may be used as a sustainable protein source. This study covers insect proteins, their defatting process and extraction, health advantages, economic and environmental impacts, safety considerations, and regulatory aspects. This review also investigates the ecological benefits of insect farming and consumer acceptance of this dietary trend. A systematic search of the pertinent literature was conductedto collect data for this review. Current research examines the effects of using edible insects as functional, sustainable reservoirs of proteins, including protein screening, extraction methods, health benefits, and social recognition. The varied isolation techniques considerably affect protein amount and quality. This review clarifies the broad spectrum of proteins in edible insects, particularly their nutritional importance and effective extraction methods. The viability of insects as a sustainable source of protein is highlighted by the safety considerations and the interaction of economic and ecological considerations with complex consumer characteristics.
