Dietary Zn-Recent Advances in Studies on Its Bioaccessibility and Bioavailability.
Review in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Zn is a trace element necessary for the functioning of about 300 enzymes. It plays a biochemical, structural, and regulatory role. It participates in the immune response, proper functioning of the endocrine system, and regulation of gene expression. Its deficiencies are most often caused by the mismatch between dietary intake and the body's needs. Bioavailability of zinc depends on interactions with other food components. Phytates negatively affect this element's absorption, whereas proteins, peptides, and amino acids increase its bioavailability. It has been proven that organic forms of zinc are better absorbed than inorganic compounds, like zinc oxide and sulfate. Amino acid combinations with zinc can use amino acid transporters in the absorption process. Estimation of Zn bioavailability and bioaccessibility are based on in vivo and in vitro studies, each having their advantages and disadvantages. The current review aims to gather and summarize recent research on the dietary role of Zn, especially data on bioavailability from food substances promoting/inhibiting absorption, and the latest methods for determining the level of bioavailability of this nutrient.
