Metabolic engineering for single-cell protein production from renewable feedstocks and its applications.
Review in Advanced biotechnology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Proteins are indispensable for maintaining a healthy diet and performing crucial functions in a multitude of physiological processes. The growth of the global population and the emergence of environmental concerns have significantly increased the demand for protein-rich foods such as meat and dairy products, exerting considerable pressure on global food supplies. Single-cell proteins (SCP) have emerged as a promising alternative source, characterized by their high protein content and essential amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, inorganic salts, vitamins, and trace elements. SCP offers several advantages over the traditional animal and plant proteins. These include shorter production cycles, the use of diverse raw material sources, high energy efficiency, and minimal environmental impact. This review is primarily concerned with the microbial species employed in SCP production, utilization of non-food renewable materials as a source of feedstock, and application of rational and non-rational metabolic engineering strategies to increase SCP biomass and protein content. Moreover, the current applications, production shortages, and safety concerns associated with SCP are discussed.
