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

The significance of Seafood as a reservoir of bioactive substances is increasing. With sea creatures making up approximately half of all living organisms on the planet, seas, and oceans present many innovative materials and are believed to hold the most substantial remaining reserve of beneficial natural compounds. Seafood provides a plentiful supply of essential nutrients, including high-quality protein, various fatty acids (such as omega-3s), and bioactive compounds like taurine, carotenoids, and phytosterols, all contributing to its numerous health advantages. Furthermore, seafood contains bio-lipopeptides, polysaccharides, and phenolic compounds, and it promotes health through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Enzymes, vitamins, and minerals further enrich its nutritional profile, supporting various metabolic processes and overall well-being. This review emphasizes the health benefits of seafood consumption, encompassing its cardio-protective effects that bolster heart health, its antidiabetic properties that aid in regulating blood sugar levels and its anti-cancer effects that may lower the risk of specific cancers. Additionally, seafood contributes to anti-obesity effects, enhances brain health, delivers antioxidative activity to combat oxidative stress, and supports maternal care during pregnancy and lactation.
