From microbial proteins to cultivated meat for alternative meat-like products: a review on sustainable fermentation approaches.
Article in Journal of biological engineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The global demand for protein is rapidly increasing due to population growth and changing dietary preferences, highlighting the need for sustainable alternatives to traditional animal-based proteins. This review explores cultivated meat and microbial alternative proteins, focusing on their potential to meet nutritional needs while mitigating environmental impacts. It also examines the production of cultivated meat as well as various sources of microbial proteins, including mycoproteins, bacterial proteins, and microalgae, highlighting their nutritional profiles, production methods, and commercial applications. This includes an evaluation of the state of commercialization of mycoproteins and the innovative use of agricultural and industrial by-products as substrates for microbial fermentation. The integration of microbial protein production with the bioenergy sector is evaluated as a relevant alternative to attain a synergetic effect between energy and food production systems. Ultimately, this work aims to underscore the importance of microbial proteins in advancing towards a more sustainable protein production system, offering insights into current challenges and future opportunities in the field of fermentation to produce alternative proteins.
