Unlocking the Functional and Nutritional Potential of Microalgae Proteins in Food Systems: A Narrative Review.
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 12 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
As the global demand for sustainable, nutrient-rich protein sources intensifies, microalgae have emerged as a promising alternative due to their unique biochemical, environmental, and functional properties. This narrative review synthesises the nutritional value, protein composition, functional behaviour, processing technologies, and food applications of microalgae proteins. A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, with keywords including "microalgae proteins", "nutritional value", "functional properties", and "alternative protein sources". Priority was given to peer-reviewed articles from the past decade that addressed nutritional quality, extraction methods, and food applications. Key species, Spirulina,
