The Potential Renal Acid Load of Edible Marine and Land Snails.
Article in NPJ science of food, 2026. 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
Edible snails, such as the giant West African land snail (Archachatina marginata), are an important protein source in many African countries. The potential renal acid load (PRAL), an estimate of the capability of a food to alter net endogenous acid or base production, of snail meat has not been examined so far. A quantification study of the PRAL of n = 40 snail species showed that snail meat fared worse (e.g., more acidic) than high-protein plant foods but better than most other high-protein animal food sources (e.g., less acidifying than pork or poultry), which may be attributable to the high calcium and low phosphorus content of snail meat.
