Analytical Methods for the Identification of Edible and Feed Insects: Focus on DNA-Based Techniques.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 utilization of insects as a source of essential nutrients holds considerable promise, with the potential to serve as both feed and food. Consequently, there is a necessity to develop control systems, as the undeclared addition of insects to food products and/or non-compliance with labelling regulations may pose health risks and result in financial losses for consumers. This review describes methods for identifying and detecting insect species by targeting biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, saccharides, and metabolites, with a particular focus on DNA-based approaches. This review provides a detailed overview of the application of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing methods that are suitable for the analysis of edible and forage insects. The main focus is on identifying species that are approved for use as novel foods or insect feeds within the European Union (e.g., house cricket (
