The physiological characteristics and applications of sialic acid.
Review in NPJ science of food, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Sialic acid (SA) is widely present at the end of the sugar chain of glycoproteins and glycolipids on the surface of animal and microbial cells and is involved in many physiological activities between microbial and host cells. Notably, these functions are attributed to the diversity of these SA types, their different transformation pathways, and their metabolic actions within the host, which are considered potential targets for affecting various diseases. However, developing disease mitigation strategies is often limited by an unclear understanding of the mechanisms of interaction of the causative agents with their hosts. This review mainly focuses on three types of SA: Neu5Ac, Neu5Gc, and KDN. The sources, main types, and distribution of these SAs are discussed in detail, emphasizing the metabolic processes of different SAs and their interaction mechanisms with the host. This review will help lay a foundation for developing functional foods and SA-targeted intervention strategies.
