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

Single cell protein (SCP) is a promising alternative to animal-derived protein, offering high productivity with low environmental impact. However, SCP performance varies widely across microbial species. This review systematically and quantitatively compares 57 bacterial SCP candidates in terms of safety, protein quality, and production efficiency, integrating multivariate analysis to highlight representative high-performing species and remaining data gaps, and providing a framework for rational species selection toward sustainable protein supply.
