Donkey milk as a non-bovine alternative: a review of its nutri-functional properties, applications, and challenges.
Review in Journal of food science and technology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Elevation in incidences of cow milk protein allergies warrants the need to investigate the suitability of non-bovine milk alternatives for human consumption. Donkey milk has emerged as a potential alternative attributed to its benefits to human health. Evidently, it is a great option for infants as it closely resembles human milk. Researchers have also investigated its suitability in producing numerous dairy products. This review discusses the various nutri-functional aspects of donkey milk, its applications and challenges in the manufacturing of infant formula, yogurt, cheese, ice cream, kefir, and fermented milk. Research updates on processing techniques (thermal and non-thermal) for donkey milk preservation are also delineated. Despite abundant nutrients and desirable functional properties, the growth of the donkey milk industry is not significant. This is due to the lower yield, scattered population, and lack of regulatory standards for both products and processing. Recommendation on research gaps and obstacles in its commercialization are also addressed. Graphical abstract:
