Microalgae Bioactives for Functional Food Innovation and Health Promotion.
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 18 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
Microalgae are increasingly recognised as sustainable, nutrient-dense sources of bioactive compounds with broad health-promoting potential. Rich in carotenoids, phenolics, polyunsaturated fatty acids, phycobiliproteins, sterols, and essential vitamins, microalgae offer a promising foundation for functional foods targeting chronic disease prevention. This narrative review explores the nutritional profiles and biological effects of key species, including Spirulina (
