The impact of feeding black soldier fly larvae on the blood lipid profile of laying hens: A meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Open veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The black soldier fly (BSF), Aim: To resolve conflicting findings, this meta-analysis aimed to synthesize existing studies that indicate the effects of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) meal on the blood lipid profile levels of laying hens. Methods: Five databases (PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library) were searched using the keywords Results: A total of five eligible investigations were retrieved in the quantitative meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy of BSFL meal on cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides in laying hens. All of the following parameters were not significantly altered by BSFL inclusion: cholesterol (MD = -2.42, 95% CI: -32.35 to 27.52, Conclusion: According to this meta-analysis, BSFL meal represents a promising feed substitute for laying hens that has no detrimental effects on cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglyceride levels.
