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

Continuing population growth is increasing nutritional demand and applying pressure to the world's finite resources. The current food systems struggle with sustainability, especially regarding protein sources. To address this, organisations have invested in developing novel sources of protein, such as lab-grown cultivated foods. Most of these efforts have focussed on the cultivated meat industry but neglect the emerging cultivated seafood industry. Arguably, seafood has a greater impact on protein availability and sustainability and should be a priority. Nonetheless, several technical barriers exist to produce cultivated seafood, and include a lack of established cell lines and specialised cell growth medium, that is affordable and sustainable. In addition, the application of this technology is difficult, due to public perception, ethical considerations, taste and food safety hurdles. Herein, we review the barriers that must be overcome by research institutions, companies, and stakeholders so that products can be introduced to the mainstream consumer market.
