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
The increasing demand for natural and health-promoting food ingredients has spotlighted seaweed-derived pigments as promising alternatives to synthetic colorants. This review explores the potential of chlorophylls, carotenoids, and phycobiliproteins extracted from various seaweed species for use in the food industry. These pigments offer not only a wide range of colors but also exhibit bioactivities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects. The paper discusses recent advancements in sustainable aquaculture practices, extraction, purification, and stabilization techniques, including green and microencapsulation methods, to enhance pigment yield and shelf life. Furthermore, it highlights the regulatory landscape in the European Union and the United States, identifying key differences and challenges regarding pigment approval and commercialization. Despite their potential, large-scale industrial adoption remains constrained by technical, economic, and regulatory hurdles. Bridging these gaps through optimized bioprocesses and safety assessments is essential to fully leverage seaweed pigments in food systems.
