The Potential for the Use of Edible Insects in the Production of Protein Supplements for Athletes.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Several types of proteins are used in athletes' supplementation; nevertheless, given the problem of protein deficiency in the world and the growing need for ecological sources of protein, it is very interesting to study the quality of alternative protein sources, such as insect protein. This study investigated the nutritional value, micronutrient content, amino acid profile, and chemical score of banded cricket protein quality in the form of flour, defatted flour, and a protein preparation, as well as popular commercial protein supplements. In addition, in vitro digestion was performed, and the antiradical activity of the hydrolysates was compared. Generally, the defatted cricket flour was the most similar to commercial supplements regarding nutritional value because it contained 73.68% protein. Furthermore, the defatted flour was abundant in essential minerals, such as iron (4.59 mg/100 g d.w.), zinc (19.01 mg/100 g d.w.), and magnesium (89.74 mg/100 g d.w.). However, the protein preparation had an amino acid profile more similar to that of commercial supplements (total content of 694 mg/g protein). The highest antiradical activity against ABTS
