Microalgae: An Exciting Alternative Protein Source and Nutraceutical for the Poultry Sector.
Review in Food science of animal resources, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Microalgae have garnered a considerable attention as a sustainable substitute as customary feed ingredients for poultry, predominantly due to their extraordinary nutritive profile and purposeful properties. These minuscule organisms are protein rich, retain an ample quantity of essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, thus are capable of improving nutritive value of poultry diets. Microalgae comparatively delivers an outstanding source of protein containing substantial amount of innumerable bioactive complexes, omega-3 fatty acids in addition to the essential amino acids (methionine and lysine), crucial for optimal growth and development. Besides nutritional significance, microalgae have considerable immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties that help to reduce oxidative stress and enhance immune status, thereby improving the overall health and performance. Additionally, microalgae proved to induce antimicrobial and intestinal health benefits via upregulated gut eubiosis, promoting the colonization and growth of probiotic bacteria and offering protection against infections. These nutraceutical benefits are particularly important for sustainable poultry production and reducing the dependence on antibiotic growth promoters to produce antibiotic free food. This review aims to highlights multifaceted advantages of microalgae as a functional feed additive for poultry diet to support sustainable and efficient poultry production.
