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

Valorization of fish processing waste into high-value omega-3 bioactive lipids represents a sustainable strategy for the development of functional foods. However, the incorporation of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as EPA and DHA, is constrained by oxidative instability, off-flavor formation, and poor water solubility. This review critically integrates advanced encapsulation technologies with mechanistic insights into their roles in enhancing lipid stability, modulating gastrointestinal release, and improving bioavailability within diverse food matrices. Encapsulation systems not only protect PUFAs during processing and storage but also enable controlled release, thereby enhancing physiological uptake. In addition, fish oil-derived lipids exhibit antioxidant properties through modulation of oxidative pathways and antimicrobial effects through membrane disruption and metabolic interference. A conceptual framework for the design of fortified foods is proposed, emphasizing controlled release, synergistic interactions with food components, and sustained biological functionality. By linking mechanistic understanding with practical formulation strategies, this review provides a comprehensive roadmap for the effective and safe utilization of fish waste-derived omega-3 lipids in next-innovative functional foods.
