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

Collagen and gelatin are essential biomaterials widely used in industries such as food, cosmetics, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals. Traditionally derived from animal tissues, these proteins are facing growing demand for more sustainable and ethical production methods. Precision fermentation (PF) offers a promising alternative by using genetically engineered microorganisms to produce recombinant collagen and gelatin. This technology not only reduces environmental impact but also ensures consistent quality and higher yields. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of collagen and gelatin production through PF destined for the food sector, exploring key advances in recombinant technologies, synthetic biology, and bioprocess optimization. Challenges such as scaling production, cost-efficiency, and market integration are addressed, alongside emerging solutions for enhancing industrial competitiveness. We also highlight leading companies leveraging PF to drive innovation in the food industry. As PF continues to evolve, future developments are expected to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and expand the applications of recombinant collagen and gelatin, particularly in the food and supplement sectors.
