1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewThis review evaluates the potential of alternative protein sources, including plant-based proteins, insect proteins, mycoproteins, microalgae, and cultured meat, in meeting the increasing demand for sustainable and functional protein solutions in sports nutrition. RECENT

findingsStudies indicate that alternative protein sources provide significant environmental benefits, such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions and lower water use, while delivering essential nutrients to support athletic performance and recovery. Advances in technology and production methods have further enhanced their feasibility as replacements for conventional animal-based proteins. Integrating alternative protein sources into sports nutrition offers a dual benefit: meeting athletes' dietary requirements and supporting global sustainability goals. These protein sources pave the way for innovative, environmentally conscious dietary practices in sports nutrition, marking a pivotal shift toward a more sustainable future.
