Could Cultured Meat Be a Sustainable and Safe Source of Protein?
Review in Molecular nutrition & food research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Red and processed meat includes high-quality proteins and essential sources of micronutrients, such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B12; however, high consumption is linked to an increased risk of chronic disease burden and also harms environmental sustainability, as methane produced by ruminant animals is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. New strategies to mitigate chronic disease risk and methane production have been developed, and the replacement of natural beef with "cultured beef" has been discussed. Cultured Meat is an innovative field that addresses human nutrition and environmental preservation. However, further research is needed regarding the effects on human health, including the chronic burden of lifestyle-related diseases. This mini-review summarizes recent findings on the production technologies, environmental footprint, and nutritional composition of cultured meat, highlighting both its promises and current limitations. Notably, no clinical trials have evaluated its health effects in humans, and sustainability claims remain largely theoretical and dependent on renewable energy sources.
